My naive question, can image generation make something novel eg. "show me a DNA structure that cures cancer" can it do that, or it has to have seen something before to generate it.

Just think we conceptually know what a brushless motor design looks like and it's just pixels. I guess even if it did produce the image we wouldn't know what it means.

You are overestimating it's intelligence, but I bet it would hallicinate some result, why not try it yourself?

All image models can generate images that were not in its training dataset, but it can't generate reductive extreme cases like your example.
