> The way these models are creative is the same way humans are
We have no idea how human creativity works, but we know with certainty that it doesn't involve a Python program sucking in pixel data and outputting statistical likelihoods.

(I still have on my to-do list "learn more about why Hebbian learning is different from gradient descent and how much those differences matter").
As these tools improve and it becomes more possible for us to actually take our ideas into images and videos that fit a sort of "yes this is what I want" bill we are going to see amazing things come out.
I mean, a few days ago I saw this clearly AI generated video of some wizards doing snowboard and having a blast in the mountains. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, simply so ridiculous. Obviously someone had the idea "I want to make a video of wizards doing snowboard in a mountain" that's where creativity lies.
So to say "creativity doesn't involve a python program outputting statistical likelihoods" imo is just you saying you're not creative enough to know what to do with the tools you've been given.
Some people when they see a strawberry they see a fruit. Others see endless dishes where the fruit is just an ingredient.
obviously you can use python to create works of art
whether a python script can itself be creative is the question posed by OP, but you went with "you're just not creative enough to get it"
