I’m not saying humans are doing probabilistic search (not saying they are not either). I’m saying that if probabilistic search produces a result that people see as creative, then we can regard probabilistic search as something that produces creativity. Furthermore, just because we don’t have the computational capability yet to replicate human thought processes using, for example probabilistic search, does not mean that probabilistic search is not part of replicating human thought processes.
