AIs can definitely mux a couple ideas and come up with a concept that’s not in the training work set already. In fact, it is often so willing to do it that the concepts often don’t make a sense, but certainly it does generate ideas that are not there in the training set. This is still just the “it’s an infringement machine” argument redux yet again - yes, it absolutely does have the ability to mash up ideas to produce something new.

Nobody ever trained it to make up a bunch of slurs for cancer kids. Nobody has ever trained it on poems about drug use on the spaceship Nostromo. Dolphin mixtral will give it the old college try though.
