Business automation and creativity

I would like to challenge Tom Graves statement that Not every process could be automated.

Can you automate a creative process like writing a manuscript?

As a business process it’s fairly well described on a high level, but is that enough for automation?

First, if we would could feed a logline into to process, would we get out a first draft for a feature film? 

Second, if we feed the same logline into the process one more time, would we have the same result?

Third, if we gave feedback to the process about what we fought about the first draft, would the process adapt and rewrite the story based on experieces it gathered?

With AI we already have an engine that could write stories, based on the input.

The questions are then if we get the same story twice and if the engine learns from feedback.

If the AI-engine repeats history and delivers the same story from the same logline, then it’s a repetitive process. 

If it’s a different story each time, but doesn’t learn from feedback, I would more categorize it as a randomizer, probably worse than a blind hen.

But if the engine learned from feedback, it would be much smarter, more akin of a very skilled person 

So, yes in the future, all processes could be automate. The question is if they should and it is more of an ethical question than technical.
