I mean — he’s defending human creativity and he’s kind of right. AI can recreate variations of the things it is trained on, but it doesn’t create new paradigms.

People always says AI do create only variations but many successful TV shows are variations. I started watching sitcoms from the 70s and many things were copied/adapted in recent shows.

That just muzak for a visual medium.

99% of everything people create is a variation.

Truly innovative anything is RARE.

There's just stuff and things people haven't thought to combine with stuff yet.
