This is not factually true, and neural network can use a feedback loop with machine learning algorithms on the data it is producing to create "fresh" data. This is how they developed new languages using machine-learnign algorythms. Those were "fresh" words.
The limits are the bounds of the medium it is using. To use a common saying - if you type millions of letters in a random sequence over and over again eventually you will write the novel "War and Peice" if use AI with a machine learning feedback loop you will get there much, much faster.
Randomly typing a series of keystrokes over and over may turn out War and Peace but that four volume set has 587,287 words, so I doubt it will ever be accomplished.
With a further thought it does sound like you are trying to brute force a copy into existence which based on the number of words may not ever happen before the death of the sun.
Yes I know it's a daft example that I'm suggesting.
AI by itself does not, but Machine Learning does contain meaning or symbolism and art by its very nature is in the eye of the beholder.
You can create synthetic data. Suggesting AI can't create new data because it is using numbers is like saying a human artist can create new art because there are only 10000 different shades of red she can use.
As has been seen in a recent course case ChatGPT can create content but it fabricated federal cases which the person who used it didn't realise it could do that.
I'd certainly like an AI powered GM assistant as that could really help me by searching through books and perhaps creating an index that I could make use of.
