There are applications where AI is already being used to create art. It has been used to create original images, videos, and music. Users typically provide specific prompts for the AI to generate something (the AI is not inspired to create anything itself). The AI typically will reference other similar art and copy a variety of aspects to produce the final product. This is very similar to the creative process of human artists. Creativity is really just the unique combination of existing ideas. Perhaps AI could be even more creative than humans if it has large libraries of art to steal and combine ideas from.
