The "creativity" afforded by AI is the creativity of the Renaissance art patron: it's the creativity of the ability to *tell* (not ask) someone to make what you want to see, to follow your whims, to flatter you. I's an expression of power, a desire to control, a skillless expression of uncreativity.
