How can P=NP relate to creativity and proof automation, as said by Scott Aaronson?
There is a relatively often cited quote


  "If P=NP, then the world would be a profoundly different place than we usually assume it to be. There would be no special value in “creative leaps,” no fundamental gap between solving a problem and recognizing the solution once it’s found. Everyone who could appreciate a symphony would be Mozart; everyone who could follow a step-by-step argument would be Gauss; everyone who could recognize a good investment strategy would be Warren Buffett."


However, Scott has later distanced from it:


  Given how many confusions and weird misinterpretations it’s spawned, I, Scott Aaronson, hereby formally disown my statement about how “everyone who could appreciate a symphony would be Mozart” if P=NP.
