 Can Artificial Intelligence Match Human Creativity?

by Jillian Drummond


    Many people across the world are concerned with the potential capabilities of artificial intelligence at the rate they are evolving. Even back in 2014, big names in science like Steven Hawking and Elon Musk warned about the potential destruction AI could cause. Read more about that here.

    The underlying problem with artificial intelligence is that these programs are trained on existing data and records. So, when fed more and more data, these AI programs only get stronger and more accurate, whereas humans are much more limited.

    But, is it just a new arrangement of previous works that these programs have scrapped? Or is it really a "new" work of art?

    The answer is fairly simple... so far. Nothing technically "new" is being created. Humankind's creativity is built from real-life experience and real emotion. The most compelling stories are written based on current events surrounding our society. How can a computer adapt to the complex developments in our society (and create from them) without someone writing about them first? Everything is a result of patterns recognized by the computer, therefore AI cannot yet innovate on the same level as humankind. 

    Fortunately, there is yet to be a solution found on how to overcome this "issue" in the development of generative AI.

    Umm, do you know which of the photos are AI generated in the example?

    I agree that AI can't really create art. It is literally soulless. It's like typing something into Google and it coming up with a response, just in a more advanced way.

Students Are Using AI to Do Their Homework

 Students Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Do Homework for Them by Jillian Drummond     Currently, teachers across the world are struggling with this new technology in a whole different aspect than the rest of us, which is teaching their students. Many programs have  emerged with the development of AI, including programs that can write essays while dodging plagiarism filters.       The top three programs in the field are  Textero.AI ,  Jasper AI , and  Copy AI . These types of programs are meant to write for you in an academic style and are marketed with questionable phrases including "plagiarism-free".  Image: Evolving AI by John Darkow     This has introduced teachers (who already do not get paid nearly enough) to a whole new and unique obstacle.       Sure, there are now programs that schools and universities have found that can predict the likelihood  of essays being written with AI— but how credible are those programs... that are also based on using AI?     The leade

Artificial Intelligences' Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives

 Artificial Intelligence's Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives by Jillian Drummond          The creators of artificial intelligence programs have gotten the world in an uproar about AI. They claim it can do a number of life-changing tasks with the help of their new technology. However, many artists have been wondering what these changes could mean for them and their careers.          Generative AI like ChatGPT claims to be able to write music and essays, manipulate media files, and much more all within seconds. For artists who have spent their whole lives perfecting their craft, this can be a little intimidating.  Image: Shutterstock     Being an artist is already enough of a challenge to try and  make a living off of, and with robots emerging in the artistic arena— you can bet it will only get much harder. A Forbes article recently tells of a work of art created by AI that even won an award at a state fair (read about that here ).      Seeing the income and recognition tha

Artificial Intelligence Kills Human Creativity

Artificial Intelligence Kills Human Creativity by Jillian Drummond      Hi guys,      I'm glad you found your way here.      My name is Jillian Drummond and as a lover of all things artistic, expressive, and a little silly— it kills me to see how often people are being over-reliant on artificial intelligence.       Not only that but how it is advancing far quicker than we can control and regulate it. Yet people do not seem to care or think that it can pose a threat to all of us.         I aim to bring more attention to the potential damage that could result from the unregulated growth of artificial intelligence. Everyone needs to be aware that what could happen to the art economy, will eventually spread to all aspects of labor and interfere with our human rights.  Credit: Getty Images      Art is freedom of expression. It allows us to connect with one another and paint our emotions: our struggles, our loves, and our fears. It can be used as a platform for social justice and communi
