It has meaning insofar that it uses images created by real artists (which do have meaning) to create new ones. Real artists also use works of other artists as inspiration for their own, but since the spectator views the subject through a different lens than the creator, they naturally add their own "flavor" to it. This isn't the case for AI art - it takes elements from a large amount of pictures and then rearranges them.
