Interesting.

Maybe the "greater" story arc then becomes one of what we are really striving for. If the "measure" of the species is merely to see how far we can advance on a purely mechanical/technological scale then perhaps sentient AI represents the pinnacle of development.

Our species epitaph might read "And the humans created artifical version of themselves to replace themselves."

The question, then, is whether that's the most appropriate scale to use? Not sure I can follow creativity as entropy, though... if so, that entropy has been going on for a long time; in archeological digs we marvel as much at our forefathers' ART as we do their TECHNOLOGY.
