I don't quite get this. Can the whole not be creative?
I guess another way to phrase that is "is the concept of creating fire" creative.
Because sure you can have many ways to create it but if everyone is doing it then is it creative? Because if everyone is creative then is anyone creative?
No shit

That's not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals in a constrained framework and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they're not creative or relied on creativity to work?
I know people say that limits kill creativity but I'd say in many cases its the opposite. Limits cause people to think creatively to build something interesting within those bounds.
Not to say thats the rule. Sure, hive mentality and groupthink can kill creativity but its not the case for everything, far from it.
There are pros and cons. Check out webmd’s page.
Even ants go rouge for the hive. Anyone who has done swarm logic will say a little bit of divergent behavior will save the swarm. If they don't they will never find all the food and starve because it gets stuck.
stagnation kills, be different.

I would have agreed once; but I know about the SCP Wiki. Literally a creative hive mind. If you don't know what it is: It's a collection of fiction that is derived from an entire community writing, editing, and voting for things into and out of the overall lore.
I bet a group can make someone truly beautiful and creative, together

Dissent is not creativity.
Well, not per se. Dissent can be creative though.
