Humans are also receptacles of culture creating new cultural artefacts, DALL-E is like us in that regard. But it's a tool AI, it's not a full agent. It's not embodied, embedded and enacted in the environment, its goal is to minimise loss, not to survive. I think the "what it's like to be an X?" comes from being in the environment with needs and goals to accomplish. It's not a magical neural architecture, it's the framing of the whole process that makes the difference.
