AI can not replace the creative process of humans, as that would defy the purpose. It is the same thing as with zero: it is the sum of infinite values with an infinite width, but in the end it becomes useless. This is unless you combine it with other numbers; then it instead works as the invisible building blocks that can increase a numbers value to infinity. Though you can always replace them with ones, and later just subtract those additional ones to get the original value. In short, AI can enhance peoples experience with your creative work; but this is only true when building on top of years of experience and years of talent in humans (both dead and alive).
