Technically speaking, that’s not really true. Or at least no more true than it is for humans, who also take what has been done before and build upon it.
True. AI = pattern recognition, algorithms - stuff already used to process video and photos on phones. Look at the CGI/AI used in movies. Its all gotten so good it looks real. The diff now is the user interface. There will be a hit in some fields like video and photo licensing, writing and such but a lot of that is canned repetition even when done by real humans. Most media now is formulaic and increasingly deceptive. With AI at least people are on the look-out.
Depends on what you mean by AI. Something like Alphago a few years back created moves that experts at first thought were mistakes in the game Go, and then realized they were actually quite clever and unique. GPT would be limited to its training set but the combinations of characters could be seen as "creative." Depends on how you look at it.
