If it seems ridiculous to you, that's a good signal that you'd get a lot out of digging into philosophy of mind.
Where do our thoughts come from? Creativity? Is it so preposterous that these too arise from probabilistic electrical storms - but in wet matter as opposed to hard?
Where thoughts come from may be too complex for us to model now, maybe ever. But if you look deep enough, I think you'll find at heart deterministic processes driven by networks that were trained through nature + nurture.
Maybe creativity is less ethereal than we perceive. Maybe it would benefit us to start considering how non-sentient intelligence can achieve it.
Reminds me of a quip about Richard Feynman that he'd spend many hours honing a new way of doing a physics problem, but carefully present it as if he just did it off handed. So we just need to link human brains with cybernetic implants to compete. ;)
Of course I still made something up.
