AI lacks imagination and curiosity. It is able to mash together things that it "knows," not overly different from humans who can only work with what they know. However, curiosity allows humans to combine things and explore nature to just discover what will happen. (I recommend reading The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge.) Humans are also able to apply a solution from one thing to something else to solve problems.

As a college student 50 years ago ( just hit the 7th level) I was a big believer in just about anything that preached peace and understanding. Then I took astronomy 101 with Carl Sagan. Changed my worldview. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence was the overall theme of the course. He stressed that astronomy is the perfect example Of how science should work…very limited evidence (optical and radio telescopes, physics, a few space probes) and yet we have figured out our universe began 13.8 years ago. Sometimes wish y’all would address political issues but us were stand why you dont. Greetings from Culebra Puerto. Rico.,,beautiful spot
