It's extrapolating from data.

AI is interpolating data. It's not great at extrapolation. That's why it struggles with things outside its training set.

    I'd still call it extrapolation, it creates new stuff, based on previous data. Is it novel (like science) and creative? Nah, but it's new. Otherwise I couldn't give it simple stuff and let it extend it.

    We are using the word extend in different ways.

    It's like statistics. If you have extreme data points A and B then the algorithm is great at generating new values between known data. Ask it for new values outside of {A,B}, to extend into the unknown, and it falls over (usually). True in both traditional statistics and machine learning
