IMO creativity is beside the point, I mean, it is just one of those things that the human brain happens to be good at, so we identify it with consciousness (in the sense that it falls out of the same organ). But really all sorts of stuff can look creative. I mean, just to use an example that is clearly identified as a creative product: a Jackson Pollock painting is clearly a creative work, but a lot of the beauty comes from purely physical processes, the human influences the toss but after that it’s just a jumble of fluid dynamics. We wouldn’t call the air creative, right? Or if we do, we must conclude that creativity doesn’t require consciousness.
