I don't think Duchamp's urinal is particularly great, but DALL-E'S process is pretty much the opposite. Ask it to conceive a "fine art scuplture of a fountain" and it'll draw something that looks a lot like the existing sculptures, with water spouting out of it Only way you're likely to get a urinal from DALL-E is if you ask it to draw a urinal (or curate a dataset full of urinals, possibly mislabeled). And nobody would have considered Duchamp's urinal art (never mind still be talking about it today) if he'd produced it when asked to design a bathroom rather than an opportunity to install whatever he wanted at an independent artists' exhibition.
