Like other responders, I think your take is oversimplifying. It’s hard to both classify what imagination is, how to judge whether AI has it, and we also have humans tuning these models, which may or may not contribute to its blandness. That said, I think it’s still fair to say that most interpolation type of work is looking very threatened by AI as it is today, so the converse (don’t go into those fields) is probably sound advice in light of current developments. As for the rest, I suspect we’ll be forced to chisel off piece by piece from our zeitgeist of “imagination”. Some pieces will fall off quickly, as AIs replace them, and some will take longer, perhaps a lot longer. I do find it interesting that computers ended up killing it in unpredictable domains such as style transfer and NLP, while being mediocre-at-best in eg humor. It may mean that we have over- and underestimated aspects of what traits are unique and sophisticated.
