It has no concept of The Beatles or Abbey Road or zebra crossings or perspective or creative composition in photography, so effectively it just mashes up some results from an image search. If it created something very close to the original it would be overfitting. So it flails around rather randomly in photos-of-Beatles+Zebra+Abbey Road space. The results are novel, but they're also monstrous, distorted, and unartistic.

Monstrous and distorted can be a style. “mathematical art, 1924, litography, abstract generative art” generates https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FanUkREXEAEH6su.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FanUkREXEAEH6su.jpg — Can you pick the influences?
