original work often does not mean doing something already done in a slightly different way (paint a different set of sunflowers than Van Gogh) What these models do is more similar to pastiche, if we really want to compare it to some technique. But the value of the pastiche depends on the intent and its perception by the viewer(s), because there's nothing inherently original in it. So basically what models produce has no value, unless we are able to attach some to it. [1] If we asked chat-gpt to analyze something it has produced, it will probably say that it is "similar to" or "in resemblance of" but it's unlikely that it would say "this is the work of genius, how original! lovely!" [1] edit: you don't read "pizza maker creates fabulous art on AI" but <person who's already in the business> won a contest of <some art form> submitting something created by <AI of your choosing>. Why? Because they know how to market it and can rely on other people believing that's their creation. Nobody says it upfront "I will submit an AI generated work", because they know it won't be judged the same way. The pizza maker was probably trying it for fun or to make a new logo for the pizza place or simply has no instrument to assign it a value and convince other people that it is true (including using their professional card).
