One has to be very specific when throwing around words like "creative" when talking about A.I

Can A.I create art. Well it can create something that's pleasing to our senses but art is ultimately about conveying human feelings and emotions. Even as humans, understanding art is not universal. "feelings and emotions" and therefore art, can be deeply tied to a particular groups shared beliefs and experiences.

Can it be creative in non-subjective fields such as math or sciences. Einstein derived GR from his creative thought experiments. If an A.I poped out GR's field equations simply by testing different mathematical frameworks that resolve the issues discovered by experiments, is that creative? Perhaps but certainly not in the same way.

> art is ultimately about conveying human feelings and emotions

you made a small error, art is mostly about generating an emotion in the viewer/listener/.... not about transmitting an emotion of the creator

the Wikipedia page on art starts with:

> Art is a diverse range of cultural activity centered around works utilizing creative or imaginative talents, which are expected to evoke a worthwhile experience

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art

so AIs can do art, because they are only required to generate an emotional response in the receiver

His definition of creativity is closed-loop, i.e. the produced concept has to be novel for the system itself, not for the side observer.

Contemporary humans downvote art because it makes them uncomfortable.

They just want dopamine. No thinking because that hurts.
