Human creation was never pure. It was always remix, collage, appropriation, mutation of what already existed.

We didn't invent fire; we domesticated it. We did not give birth to art; we scratched it from chaos.

The idea of the "original creator" is a narcissistic fantasy.

Generative AI does the same. But without ego, without anxiety, without waiting for validation in social networks. It learns, combines and generates.

A digital Frankenstein that doesn't ask for permission or forgiveness.

Sound shallow to you? Well, many humans also create repetitive and predictable garbage. The difference is that AI does it in seconds.

Saying that AI "can't create" is like saying that a printing press doesn't write books. No, it doesn't write them. But without it, the author remains an unknown.

AI has no soul. So? Many creatives don't either. But it has patterns, memory, style, and above all: it has production.

So yes. AI creates.

The problem? It starts doing it without needing us. And that makes us uncomfortable, because we liked to think we were special.
