To me it is like saying "AI can recognize faces but it can never be creative and make art".

That is true until it is not. As a long time art lover, I have seen more amazing art randomly generated on my own machine in the last 2 months than I could see at any art gallery near me.

I think we underestimate how statistical creativity is. For human artists and musicians we just call them influences.

Of course humans will still be involved in the loop but the productivity of one human is going to utterly explode this decade when it comes to knowledge work.

You need to separate creativity from logic.

One is subjective the other one is objective. To create something objective you need to understand the current world state, and this AI does not understand it.

I.e. this AI (might) work if he had seen all the possible states of the world , and their next state.
