But again… aren’t people the same way? Noone exists in isolation. The Sir Isaac Newton quote comes to mine:

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”

Edit: to be clear - these algorithms are specifically non-linear and are a far cry from ‘linear interpolation’. Yes they do involve matrix multiplication that does not make them interpolaters unless you want to water down the meaning of interpolation to be so generic it loses its meaning. Having said all that - the sophistication of the algorithm is beyond the point here as long as what they are generating is substantially transformative (which >99% of the possible outputs are legally speaking).
