Generating arbitrary new images is extremely transformative, and reducing a zillion images to a few bytes each is pretty minimal. It is really fucking difficult to believe "draw Abbey Road as a Beeple piece" would get a commissioned human artist bankrupted, if they openly referenced that artist's entire catalog, but didn't exactly reproduce any portion of it.
