Could Machines Become Creative?

AI automation is coming, and it's going to impact knowledge workers -- writers, artists, designers, scientists, managers, and entrepreneurs. However, even when AI automation completely replaces the need for a human -- such as in its conquest of strategy games like Chess and Poker -- the world doesn't end and the human element doesn't disappear. Largely better, in some ways worse, but life in fact goes on. Humans keep doing our thing. And the machines keep getting better, and better, and better.
