Neither of those are particularly complex tasks. Sure, they're harder than sitting there looking foolish but nowhere near as tricky as, just as an example, poetry. And the blindsighted people that you seem to love to carry on about only do it very poorly.
If you want a complex task you can explain how anything without qualia is going to mange to use or develop tools. Good luck with that.
