If it were a -human- painting a fake Rembrandt, no matter how perfect an imitation, it would be called "a very very good imitation of Rembrandt" and nobody would claim that they'd in any sense brought Rembrandt back to life. Calling a very good forged Rembrandt a "new Rembrandt" would be pretty silly.

Calling one generated by a computer a "new Rembrandt" seems just as silly. Just because it was composed by an algorithm doesn't make it Rembrandtier than one painted by an expert forger.

Pretty cool as a technical achievement, though.
