> 1) That is a horribly denigrative view of human creativity, one that simply does not reflect reality.

I disagree with this. Part of the long trajectory of imagining and creating AI is figuring out what makes a human do what it does. Many believe there is no magic spark which cannot be replicated. And if there's no magic spark, then eventually AI can replicate the entire human creative experience. Whether it will or whether we want it to is a different question.
