That's the central question. So far, AI has proven great at ingesting huge amounts of "prior art" and producing variations on the themes it has learnt (more or less) according to the prompts you give it, but it consistently fails to grasp the underlying rules (gravity, perspective, anatomy etc.) that are supposed to govern the images it generates.
