Скачать или смотреть asking better question 2 : IS AI CREATIVE?

‘can AI be creative?’

in most people the question evokes a sense of unease, a slight form of resistance.

often, this resistance is reflective of an assumption we inherited from the Enlightenment –– the assumption that there is an irreducible ontological difference between us humans (beings) and mere machines (things).

if one approaches AI from within this distinction one can easily understand why the suggestion that there is something creative about AI is troubling:
it amounts to a violation of some sacred boundary.

with the consequence that one feels provoked to resolutely defend the human against the machine.

the question though is whether the human v machine –– being vs thing –– distinction is a good starting point for thinking about AI.

or about anything, really.

we don’t think so.

at the heart of Limn, therefore, is a very different way of addressing the question concerning AI and creativity:

can AI systems contribute something to the creative process that we humans did not –– and could not (never) –– put into it?

so that AI would literally extend the creative process beyond what we humans are capable of on our own?

with the beautiful –– elevating –– consequence that we can have creative ideas we would never be able to have qua human?

if that were the case, then where would the human end and the AI begin?
