One could describe DALL-E as "type a text in dalle and it will generate a Picasso with the right textures and strokes and everything". One would have to be particularly obnoxious to pretend to surmize that the Dalle image is an actual Picasso painting that you can sell in Sothebys or display in his museum. That is a giant strawman that some asinine people created there, and the Galactica team fell for it. They should stand their ground, but unfortunately they work for Meta, and corporate is where academic freedom goes to die.
