Those cognitive concepts into new remixes.

That's all creativity is.

And you're doing that all the time, whether you're just trying to think of what to say next or what recipe to make next or what patent to do or what company to start.

You're just remixing the stuff that you already know.

And that's why, you know, I don't know, take Beethoven.

He could have written any kind of music ever.

That was being done anywhere in the world.

But, of course, he didn't.

Like, that's what he grew up with was the music and his local culture and so on.

What we have now is a much broader diet, as I mentioned before, where we can get everything going in.

But the point I want to make here is that AI, that's what it does.

It remixes stuff that's come in.

So AI is massively creative.

The part of creativity that AI can't do right now is selection.

Meaning it can generate 100 pictures, but it doesn't know which one to pick.

It doesn't know which one is going to be the most appealing to you, but it can remix beautifully.

And as the intern is there for a while...

he or she becomes quite good at getting, oh, okay, I get Steven's taste.

It would be this one.

And the AI can't learn that, what my taste is?
