Lying is a creative act, but clearly not limited to homo sapiens, or even primates- regardless one's value assigned to it, it's inarguably creative ("unexpected cognition" in your words), yet it succumbed to cybernetic analysis and manipulation years ago. I really don't think any human skill or capacity is more than about 15 years from effective automation, and probably nearly all have already been in the most advanced lab environments. I think it's foolishly short-sighted to avoid talking about this seriously with a view towards actually developing some sort of symbiotic relationship with inevitable technology, as the alternatives are far less than satisfying.
