Of course, computers can't be creative, so it is just imitation. What it creates is not novel. It's just doing what the programmer told it to do. Blah blah blah.
In my opinion, it is one step -- and an impressive step -- in the direction of computers being able to actually be creative. The areas where humans can do something that computers can't is shrinking. You can dismiss it if you want, but at what point will you acknowledge that what the computer is doing isn't simply imitation? I guess you can keep moving the goalposts, but to me, this is pretty impressive.
