Human creativity is akin to stealing fire from the gods. Asking a theft machine to take a creativity-shaped shit is just consumption with extra damage to the climate.

Stock music, stock videos, video game environments, etc - the industries that made them have always employed creative humans, but they can be made by AI that doesn't have true creativity.
