It's not being creative. It's generating a statistically likely facsimile with a seperate set of input parameters. It's sampling, but keeping the same pattern of beats even if the order of the notes changes.
Though, at what point does sampling become coherentism from philosophy? In the end, whether an AI performs "coherently" is all that matters. I think we are amazed now at ChatGPT because of the quality LLM from 2021 but that value will degrade or become less "coherent" over time, i.e. model collapse.
Because I never think I can post it enough, Let’s forget the term AI. Let’s call them Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences (SALAMI).
So much confusion and prejudice is thrown into this discussion by the mere fact that they're called AIs. I don't believe they are intelligent anymore than I believe a calculator is.
And even if they are, the AIs don't have the needs the humans do. So we still must value the work of the humans more highly than the work of the AIs.
