A little deeper explanation for others:
It can create new content (see poems, pics, and animations as examples), but it will always be based on the statistics of what it has found in other's contexts. Example: these two words are statistically associated in poetry, especially when used to rhyme with the requested context.
I know I'm nit picking but I also want people to understand in better detail what it's doing. You are of course correct it is incapable of original creation where no one has previously explored, thereby not creating a contextual association for the model to explore. This is why they create nonsense and lies.
An example of non-intelligence is its inability to accurately understand the number of digits for humans. This is a pattern of five per, which is easily determined by even low intelligence, however, AIs have no idea because five per which stems from lateral symmetry isn't inherently obvious when looking at pictures of humans without the fundamental concept of biological, lateral symmetry. Which AIs don't know and would never know unless explicitly programmed to know and account for. This is why AI "art" frequently has completely wrong finger and sometimes limb counts.
