It can't. Without the ability to propose a hypothesis and then experimentally test it in the physical real world, no ML technique or app can add new information to the world. The only form of creativity possible using AI (as it exists today) is to recombine existing information in a new way -- as a musical composer or jazz artist creates a variation on an theme that already exists. But that can't be compared to devising something new that we would call truly creative and original, especially novel work that advances the frontier of our understanding of the world, like scientific discovery.
