I think anyone who already works in a creative field does acknowledge this. Creativity is, in fact, a process, and a skill that can be broken down into steps, taught to others, and practiced. Graham Wallas broke down the creative process all the way back in the 1920s and it boils down to making novel and valuable connections between existing ideas. What does an LLM do other than that exact process?

I think one of the problems people have with creativity and AI is they associate creativity with something spiritual and so bristle at the thought of AI being creative because they believe machines have no soul. I'm an optimist. I think what AI is going to do is show us what it truly means to be human.
