What kind of creative types exist outside of living organisms? People can create award winning novels, but a table do not. Water do not. A paper with some math do not.

What is the basis that an LLM should be included as a "creative type"?

Well a creative type can be defined as an entity that takes other people's work, recombines it and then hides their sources.

LLMs seem to match.
