>a level of creativity in model creation that isn't present in distillation.

the same argument - a level of creativity in the world knowledge creation that ins't present in the model training on that knowledge.

Or in other words - model creation and training is just a distilling of the world knowledge.

I don't disagree. I'm not sure why that's a relevant reply though.

If you think that the addition of a less creative process (model creation) to a more creative corpus ("art") is problematic, then it follows that you should think the addition of a less creative process (distillation) to a more creative corpus (a model) is also problematic.

I think both are natural and fine. Otherwise we'd have to outlaw analytical thinking.
