    It’s able to apply those things because it’s read millions of sci-fi stories, and can make an educated guess. It’s also able to produce an image od an astronaut on a horse because it’s seen lots of images of astronauts and horses, and people sitting on horses, so it can once again make an educated guess. I don’t think it’s right to call that creativity.

      Isn’t that like 60% of what creativity is? Art sometimes is about combining things in a new way. I mean it’s rare anyways that one genius comes up with an entirely new concept like scifi stories or pop art and invents that genre out of thin air. Most of the times also humans take something that already exists and build upon that. It’s not that far off here. And I doubt a human can draw a “rkbvrpoi” on a “wuqrkah” and not take inspiration from …anything.

      I mean obviously there is something missing. Some human told it to draw that astronaut. So the whole artwork contains that original creativity that didn’t come from the AI. But I think it’s debatable wheter it could do it. This is only one specific example
