Kirby Ferguson's refreshed Everything is a Remix, Part 1, shows how creative work is built by copying, transforming and combining earlier work. It is the first of a four-part series updated in 2021.

HN people share it as a good short take on remixing in creative work, especially in threads about AI and authorship.

it would lack the novelty and playfulness of a good human creative work, and it likely would be very shallow in its themes. Simply tune the parameters associated with novelty and playfulness and you’ll get the desired result. There’s nothing inherent in human creativity that can’t be replicated by an AI. Most creative work is derivative and remix’s prior art. This is a good short video on the phenomenon of remixing ▶ this video
