Yes. That's why I'm saying, if you can train an AI exclusively on the stuff that could have influenced van Gogh, and coax it into reinventing van Gogh's work, then I'll believe you've developed an AI that's capable of something like the sort of innovation that van Gogh was.
I'm skeptical that what van Gogh produced can be reduced down to a function of the paintings that preceded him, in the way DALL-E is just a big function of all the images it's been trained on. Humans are "trained" on a lot more than images.
