I think it is important to make a distinction between doing creative work and accessing creative work.
When LLMs produce a creative solution to a given problem, it is replicating solutions it has seen before.
For a given task that distinction is irrelevant but for understanding LLMs it is key

i used to say programming was creative work
except LLMs are fine at programming and are literal 0s for more obviously creative work
i think we mistook enumerating a lot of possibilities and picking one for being creative
