I generally agree that AI continues to impress in very specific ways but, to be fair, some of the points you make are debatable. For example, I would argue that the development of GANs and other algos do no necessarily disprove the statement "ML models can't perform creative work." They definitely represent meaningful steps in that direction, but I don't think it's hard to find flaws with generated content. On the other hand, AI definitely has punted the ball over many moved goalposts as with the AlphaFold example.
I was thinking more about things like the weird, blurry, dream-like artifacts that you see in some GAN-generated content. Things that look like work done by someone who was both severely impaired yet somehow still extremely meticulous. Things like that seem characteristically un-human.
