Why are the inventors so obsessed with replacing himan creativity? It is our souls.

Inventor is giving them far too much credit. Neural networks have existed for several decades. These people are just plugging very old research into a massive AI research database (they skirted IP law by claiming to be a non-profit research group) and computers that have far more capacity than existed before.

These people are often sociopath grifters who derive pleasure only from 'winning', which they often conflate with making other people lose. I know a real AI researcher, and he's as appalled by what Silly Valley private equity is doing with these algorithms as you are.

Seems unlikely this tech will replace human creativity. But understanding how close the technology can get to human level on many different topics is an imporant thing to study.

You know Prometheus myth? Wanting to steal creative fire for mankind? And his punishment. These people might get the courage to use their “fire” creatively? Not to penalize mankind in favor of machines!

Science fiction classics from 50,60s saw this coming, vernor vinge’s True Names, Phil Dick’s Minority Report show AI structures working as decision makers. It is our history and future. Man is only animal supposedly that can foresee his death. Yet we ignore history.
