> But it's really thinking and creativity all the way down if you try to learn to do things well

Yes, everyone starts out creative.

But we all can tell the difference between a worker that is still creative and learning and a worker that gave up creativity and is just doing his job. The first will still be useful in this AI age the second will be replaced by AI learning what he already knows.

Rather: the workers who are (still) creative are typically a huge annoyance to their bosses.

Yeah, and that is how people stop being creative as they get punished for it while their uncreative peers gets praised. It happens to most people in school or early in their career, few gets to keep their creativity.

In a new world where creativity is valued higher more people could probably keep their creativity.

Are there studies done on this or is this just wishful thinking?

		I have never met an uncreative kid, and studies show kids tend to be more open and creative. But I have to admit I haven't met and interacted with that many average kids, so there maybe some that aren't creative, but a majority are.
