This really feels like next level stuff--as Jobs would love to note, that's the magic of integration. But, it's really not novel--just someone putting together the building blocks of foundational ML models already out there.

I think this is novel.

If being "novel" required being made of things that didn't exist before, would there be anything that meets that bar?

I think what they're saying is that this artifact could have been produced a long time ago with very similar techniques, and the novelty is in the ecosystem and tooling which lowers the barriers to creating it.

Exactly! My comment is not a ding on the product, but amazement at what a couple engineers with the right mindset can achieve with existing tools in this day and age.
