I hate this sort of retort since it’s fundamentally meaningless. All atoms that will ever exist were in the singularity and exploded during the big bang to encompass all of the universe, and so we are all just moving along. Ok, so what.

The point of the retort is precisely to point out the meaninglessness when "regurgitation" is extended to include systems with some degree of generalization/extrapolation/discovery capabilities. The expectation set on AI seems to be to break information theory, "it's not original because it can only draw a horse (more accurately than a random guess) due to having trained on information about a horse" or so on.
