Sure. Let's not think too hard about what it means that general thinking and creativity are the skills we've stopped practicing this time. It will be fine.
(You may be making the same point as me or the opposite point, I can't tell what's sarcasm anymore. I try to make mine obvious.)
Humans aren't going to be doing a better job of thinking and creativity in the long run compared to AI; there's fulfillment in doing it for yourself, but that's not a great reason to force it on everyone, rather than just those who find it fulfilling. There'll be plenty of people who still think and create as a hobby, but if the AI can cover the creativity that the economy needs, why not let it?
I'm pretty sure people will consume the creative output of AI, since it'll be better able to make things catered to precisely what they find interesting.
