>Human creativity turns into a point on that curve.

All human creativity are points ON the SAME Curve.

It doesn't matter what turns what into what into some point on the curve or finding a different "dimension"

If you come up with an algorithm that can traverse that curve you've found the algorithm for human creativity.

We are close, deadly close, to the end.

Especially given the fact that these AI algorithms literally treat the problem as a best fit curve from a mathematical perspective. Like the analogy I made is not even really an analogy, it's the reality of how these algorithms actually work.

That's what they said about mathematical proofs.

And that's what they said about programs that take finite time to prove whether or not other programs halt.

Neither of those turned out to be true though. (In particular, because the curve you're talking about is infinitely large and so you cannot compute on it in finite time.)

Also, real world things cannot be reduced to their bit descriptions because they have metadata even if their descriptions are identical: https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

An actualization of human creativity exists. Your brain.

The existence of your brain as a physical thing indicates that human creativity can be actualized. It’s literal proof via existence.

It’s the complete opposite of what you describe. We have proof that it is 100 percent possible.

Turing completeness arguments don't apply to brains because we have infinite storage space ;)

(it's in the environment around us and other people's brains.)

Obviously you can construct something with human level creativity, it just takes two people and nine months.

We're at the foot of the mountain. We only just started.
Surveys of humans strongly demonstrate that they are rather impressed with their mountain climbing accomplishments thus far. The main shortcoming to humanity is only the actions of those other people.
