Creating something novel is not even remotely the same as creating something out of thin air. Even the genius with an original thought only could come by that thought by being informed through their life experiences. Not unlike an AI training set allowing an AI to create something novel.

Is creation coming about by analysis of life experience somehow different from creation coming about by analysis of training data?

Yes, because it's multimodal, and because you can think of new things to look at and go out in the world to look at them.
