I think these discussions typically get very, very confusing.

What do we actually mean by "true creativity"?

Why should it be that our mental mechanisms of forming decisions and ideas should not be possible to implement as a mathematical model?

What is the experiment that we use to prove that information that is computer generated is fundamentally different from that of human outoput?

What do we want to measure here, in order to confim what idea?




I meant the kind of creation process we are not really aware of, that makes difficult leaps possible. Sometimes plausible solutions to hard problems just come to us without us being aware of it. That is why I said I can't really back it up, it just feels like this has a lot to do with the fundamental difference between how humans and AIs arrive at solutions to problems. If I can't back it up, I bring this up because maybe someone else could, or maybe by refuting it I would change my mind.

But yes, the discussion is hard mainly because there is a lot of information that is just plainly inaccessible. How can I even prove other people have subjective experiences like I have? There is a lot we just have to assume it is true because otherwise we can't really move forward. On the other hand, specially regarding AIs, these assumptions aren't valid anymore, because they influence directly in how we treat AIs. It is very confusing and can devolve into pure speculations for the thinkers own intelectual amusement. I am trying not to be this guy here.
