I don't believe any amount of technology will ever remove a human out of a creative task. Technology can offer tools and speed and power, but it is worth nothing without a creative mind to make use of it.
I mentioned this in another comment thread, but there was an article about Gary Kasparov discovering that a human supported by a computer can beat both a human or a computer alone.
Technology simply makes mundane tasks easier so more energy can be spent on creative possibilities.

This might not be quite what you meant, but if creativity is not a computable function, what do you think it is?
- hkuo 17y agoSimple. It's an emotional one. The one thing I doubt a computer could truly achieve. Consider from Star Trek, Data's quest to understand laughter. He could replicate it. He could understand it. But he could never feel it.
- endtime 17y agoEmotions are chemical reactions. I don't know why you think those couldn't be simulated. And Star Trek is fiction. Trying to use its storyline as evidence of anything is, uh, misguided.
