Yes, people will invariably have the motivation and drive to create.

We didn't stop playing chess when Deep Blue beat Kasparov. We don't stop swimming because boats are faster. We don't stop running, even though we can't outrun a car.

Humans do these things because they are gratifying to do. It is satisfying to train for and then run a marathon. It's fun (and rewarding!) to challenge yourself to pull the image out of your mind and place it on a canvas, an invitation to the inside of mind.

I don't care if The Beatles are considered a better band; my bandmates and I simply like making music together. It's fun.
