Machine learning just glues together existing things, which is how art is created. As amusing these pictures are, it's us humans who bring meaning to them, both when producing what these algorithms use as input and when consuming their output. We are the actual magic behind DALL-E. An AGI wouldn't need us to this extent, or at all. An AGI would also be able to come up with new ways to represent ideas, even ways that are foreign to us.
