I think that this is great and I'll explain why.

When the machines manage to supplant all the mechanistic portions of our thinking, what will remain? The creative bits, is my guess. There will be far more room for the creative bits, and then... ???

Where do those creative bits come from?

Often the creative bits come out of the struggle to do the work. If you get rid of the struggle, then you also get rid of the motivation for their creation.

Good point. Reminds me of poetry, where it's the constraint that demands creativity. Necessity, mother, invention, etc.

By creative bits, you are supplying an human-based objective function. I like this book "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective" which argues for the existence of the "objective paradox", a paradox which states that "soon as you create an objective, you ruin your ability to reach it". Maybe we shouldn't have any objective as such and let fun and play will be the norm of discovery. Sort of like know the rules and then break them in creative ways.

Were you referring to this?
