Assuming the definition of creative as being "related to original ideas", of course ChatGPT isn't creative. It is quite literally a mechanism to rehash previously expressed words, and thus ideas.

Now, ChatGPT is able to rehash previously expressed words - and possibly combine those with other previously expressed words, so as to create combinations it has been prompted to create - at a velocity and with broader sources that were not previously imaginable.

Under that definition, I wonder if anybody is `creative`. We would need to assess how many of what we call `original ideas` are not rehashes of other ideas.

No, it's been discussed to death and back with "everything is a remix" since 2012. Even the combination of previous ideas into a new one is an original thought. Doing it at the right time even more. Look at history, the invention of the bike, the airplane or the telephone. The technology needed for all of them existed for decades it just wasn't combined in the right way.

Glad you brought up "everything is a remix". As an artist, I have learned to remix, but at least put my own spin on it so it's not a complete rip. Then I can live with myself and I'm not some plagiarist.
