AI has generally been shown to have high creativity (e.g. Dall-E). However, AI is still lagging in other functional areas where humans excel (e.g. driving).

So, the conclusion might be the actual opposite that AI will first achieve human level creativity before (if ever) acquiring human functional skills.

Creativity requires solving unexplored problems. Painting a picture isn't creative, nor is it particularly marketable.

Figuring out a way to use your love of panting in order to provide a marketable product or service requires creativity, but I'm not sure Dall-E succeeds on that front. What marketable service it is able to provide has been left to the creativity of the humans who operate OpenAI.
