I don't know if it's not allowed, but it's not good. Nothing here looks like anything. Even ignoring the meaningless labelling, if a human made this, I would wonder if that human had any brain at all. Why the tube? What is that window for? What is that spectrogram (??) strip. Why is there a camera lens? I do think it's interesting that we have the technology to collate and mush up all these design elements together, but I believe that clarity and economy are both important elements of good industrial design, and AI is capable of neither.
