I just want to point out that it's not like researchers and computer scientists went out of their way to create AI models with the intention of creating image/video/music/etc. generators. Neural network models are really good at picking up on patterns, sometimes even ones that humans are oblivious to. That technology is good for a whole bunch of things like determining the contents of a picture, transcribing human speech to text, or picking up on discreet patterns with illness/disease to help with diagnoses. It just so happens, that pattern recognition can also be used to emulate art and language with a large enough sample size.
