You can draw something without knowing what it is you’re drawing. I could draw, say, an IBM mainframe without ever having knowingly seen one, and only having seen pictures of assorted computing devices. Would that make it any less a drawing of an IBM mainframe? No. Same applies to the color green. I could not even know what the color green is, but would that make the green I could have made from mixing blue and yellow by happenstance any less of a green? I’d say no as well. Same applies to books. If an infinite amount of monkeys had typewriters there’d be an infinite amount of quality content. Would these somehow not be books, or not be a specific class of book, etc? I’d, again, say no. Therefore, this is Fluttershy.
If this were a picture of any specific character, it absolutely would be Fluttershy. But it’s not, because this pic was made by a neural network, which has no way of knowing who or what Fluttershy is; it only knows roughly what a pony should look like based on a selection of sample pictures it was given, and this is an example of what it’s come up with for what a pony should look like.
