Jurgen Schmidhuber has published on creativity as an algorithmic process for a long time. And others.

Without anything to show but hypothesis.

The AI “apocalypse” that has been feared may end up being something more like a mass outage that can’t be fixed fast enough

Or can't be fixed at all because all of the people who built the AI are gone and all of their replacements relied on the AI to tell them what to do.

Always blows my mind that that was written in 1909.

Sure!
