Arguments for or against creative intentionality remain handwaving at best. The epistemics to falsify it aren't there. Either way, humans at least appear to be doing something like it in a way that machines are not.

They are getting more useful—albeit largely as a function of raw processing power available. While core AI methodology remains ossified in what it was decades ago, lacking serious conceptualization of what it is they think they're trying to accomplish.

It's exactly because the driver is "raw processing power" that it escapes human cognitive limits. (Moravec understood this decades ago.) ...
