Ants create things. Creation isn’t some complex higher functioning organism trait.

If it didn’t exist before and it does after, it was created. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mash of other content or made by a human.

    I fundamentally disagree. Creation needs some degree of originality. Otherwise it’s just a rehash of what exists already, and that’s not creation of anything new.

    I never said non-humans can’t create. I said AI can’t. And I stand by that. There is nothing original about anything a LLM does. It’s statistical analysis on a crazy amount of data. Not creating.
