I disagree, I don't see how a model that is trained with multimodality (input and output) and that can explore the environment will acquire creativity, I can see being more creative, but that suddenly these specific characteristics should make the model creative instead of emulating seems odd. I also disagree with "not transformative enough", they are very transformative.

I never said that a model "trained with multimodality" will acquire creativity just because of that.

How transformative they are is probably a subjective judgement depending on what one means. For example, the way I see it, when we do poetry, we transform our experience into words. What speaks to people through poetry is not the words themselves, but the pointers to the connected experience they contain. Poetry is not about writing a nice poem by predicting the next token based on statistical correlations. Current AI is not transformative enough because it does not transform lived experience into words, it predicts tokens based on what tokens it was trained on.
