I think it's fair to say that the context in which a work was created adds to the novelty and ingenuity of it's existence. These works don't exist in a vacuum and there's certainly a difference between a symphony created by Beethoven in his time/setting and a symphony produced as some model's output.

Sure they may functionally have the same effect or enjoyment, but appreciation of a fine work goes deeper than its function.
