    Humans have creativity, lateral thinking and the ability to understand context and meaning

    What evidence do you have that those aren’t just sophisticated, recursive versions of the same statistical process?

      I think the best counter to this is to consider the zero learning state. A language model or art model without any training data at all will output static, basically. Random noise.

      A group of humans socially isolated from the rest of the world will independently create art and music. It has happened an uncountable number of times. It seems to be a fairly automatic emergency property of human societies.

      With that being the case, we can safely say that however creativity works, it’s not merely compositing things we’ve seen or heard before.
