And simulation isn't truth to me. A perfect circle is an illusion. 

To me there is higher truth than physics. 

If you believe both of these to be true, as I do, then one is forced to conclude that all forms of cognition can at least be replicated in software.

From there, it's rather trivial to assume that software can surpass any form of human cognition (including creativity). You can optimise the code, speed up the processing with better hardware, etc.

AI will never be creative

Consider the following premises:

1) The brain does not violate the laws of physics.
2) The laws of physics can be simulated in software.
