With all of these AI generated arts, it's not clear to me whether this is using the training data as a kind of template and then somehow generating entirely novel content or if it's essentially just a somewhat sensible re-organization or re-quilting of the same components. In the case of poetry, maybe just a jumble of the original verses. Based on my knowledge of machine learning, it's more like the latter scenario, which somehow doesn't strike me as something radical...
