Unfortunately, that's not how these AI work. It's important we look at the misses because they make clear what AI can't do and critically analyse the hits. It's easy to look at a hit and think that it's smart but that's exactly what it wants you to think. ChatGPT relies on your expectation that it will give you a smart answer and it's very good at fooling people into thinking that it knows what it's talking about. AI are still prone to hallucinations, making contradictory statements and making errors. Creative work has nuance and is carefully constructed by the one creating it. You can't ask an AI to interpret its own work because it doesn't know what it's doing. It knows of H.P. Lovecraft's work and how to imitate it but has no concept of why Lovecraft wrote what he did. This is the same with any author. Midjourney can replicate Van Gogh's style but there's no intent or purpose behind it so the end result is a great imitation but has no value to offer because it has no perspective from which it creates.
