Nothing that is artificial can create anything. It can recombine existing elements and make something, but that is not creating anything. Humans can and do the latter, and they also can create new things. Charlie Parker took the elements that were available and recombined them into something new. AI can't think, so it can't do that.

AI in its present form can’t think. But in a few years, it will be able to think. And that’s when it will start creating.

AI people have been saying that for 60 years. There is no evidence we are any nearer. LLMs are not intelligent, even if it looks that way.

Nothing artificial can think, it's not possible.

Then again, at this point there's no way to know, At any rate, I don't expect to be around in 10 yrs. so it's a moot point.

There is no next life, this is it, and if there was, I wouldn't live it. Once is enough.
