If you mean create as in literally, sure. But not in being creative. AI can't solve novel problems yet. The person you're replying to obviously means being creative not literally creating something.

You can't say AI is creating something new but that it isn't being creative with clearly explaining why you think that's the case. AI is creating novel solution to problems humans haven't cracked in centuries. I don't see anything more creative than this.

Really?

Yes, really. Just yesterday google announced their AI was able to improve on human SotA algorithms in 25% of the cases fed into it. One of them was 4x4 complex matrix multiply. Which had pretty huge pressure to be improved.

I'm skeptical. I wouldn't call brute-force creating, not really. And Google obviously has an interest in promoting AI.

Not to say it's not impressive and good.

What is the qualifier for this? Didn't one of the models recently create a "novel" algorithm for a math problem? I'm not sure this holds water anymore.

"After a couple of million suggestions and a few dozen repetitions of the overall process"

How much of it is brute force?

Are we maybe moving the goalposts here? How much of human creativity is brute force?

Marble sculptures, that's what I came up with.

No, we're trying to have a conversation.
