In my opinion, what humans need, crave, chase, is novelty. Just look at how phobic we are of boredom. I believe creativity is part of the chasing of novelty, or the allaying of boredom. I studied film making in my 20s when the shift to digital happened, and I was the first cohort through the first digital film program in my country. When new ways to create become available, the people who struggle are often the ones who are unable to adapt their mindset to the new creative mediums and don't think "what is new to be done here". Many people when I graduated thought I was totally nuts of not owning or using an analogue camera, so many reasons, oh you can't trust the CF cards, oh the HDR will never get there, oh the shutter is too slow. This is just a version of that imo. I think AI and robotics are going all the way to the end, I'm trying to adjust my old man brain to the new world the best I can, feel blessed to have been part of a version of this before.
