The scientific and creative methods are both entirely centered around evaluating data or existing creative elements and combining it in novel ways. Science adds the goal of making and testing hypotheses but nothing about Copernicus's conjecture would have been possible without observing existing information. I'm including e.g. "new" astronomical observations in the realm of existing information because even a human is simply observing and measuring it. I fail to see what the difference is between 99% of existing "creativity," which is essentially arranging existing ideas into novel combinations, and what DALLE2 does.
