Humans do something other than follow algorithms: An algorithm has 1) an input, and 2) an output that's related to the input in a prescribable way (i.e. it has to halt—Turing) Creativity can't be an algorithm, because one can't specify criteria for what the output would be.
Yes, I don’t think humans are metaphysically special. I’m not sure where @reasonisfun was going, and it may have been rude of me to jump in there. However, I don’t think the C-T thesis has much to say about what humans can or can’t do.

Yeah C-T is interesting. A deep concept, but a bit vague. Difficult to map concepts like "program" to real world objects, as opposed to mathematical ideas. Difficult to say what C-T is actually saying.
