I would highly recommend the "Everything is a Remix" series on YouTube to show how a lot of "creative" work is really just combining different items.

I fear there is a strong sentiment that people are somehow special and magical and AI will always be a pale comparison.
The truth is likely that people are simple heuristical machines. There are already studies that strongly suggest our consciousness is a story our brains make up and we don’t really know why we do some things.
My fear is by rejecting the idea that AIs might in-fact become as capable as people, because “people are awesome!” We will be blind to real danger. Because of our hubris.
People are indeed special, in the sense that what we consider creativity, art, etc are human concepts. They are an expression of humanness, and are evaluated against human experience and human expectations. It’s what comes from a collective human consciousness.
