This needs to be hammered into techbro's heads until they shut the fuck up about the so-called "AI" revolution.
For the thousandth fucking time, NO.
'AI' doesn't feel joy, sadness, pity, entertained, or inspired when learning from others. Not even inspired to steal.
I think this is an important distinction. AI can be creative in that it can develop something new and unique, but it will have arrived at it by chance - through random inputs to the algorithm designed to minic evolutionary mutations that end up beneficial.
I agree that (at least for now) it would not be able to develop something out of inspiration or emotion. But that's because we don't understand enough about how emotion and inspiration are developed to create an algorithm that cultivates it.
