>The supposition I'm pushing back on is that humans only generate art by regurgitating what came before them and I don't see any basis for that claim.

I never claimed this. Art isn't a regurgitation. It's a composition of what came before plus a random seed. Humans do this. But so do LLMs.

Think about it. Can you erase all forms of memory in a human until it's brain dead and expect it to produce art? No. It can't.

> Children draw all sorts of fanciful creatures that they've never seen in the wild or in other art.

>We have art formed by completely isolated societies in very distinct styles

prompt: Draw art in the style of a society or civilization that has never existed. Make the art very distinct in style such that the style is very divergent from anything that has been seen before.

>It seems to me this whole argument hinges on saying humans and these image generation tools work the same way. If they do, then teach one of these programs what it means to draw, give them a sensor network to the outside world, and let's see what they generate.

No. The argument hinges on something far more insidious. If I showed you two pieces of art side by side.... One was AI generated in seconds and the other one was created through pure passion and hours and hours of hard work and toil. If you can't tell one was AI generated then all that toil and passion is useless.
