Abstract
ABSTRACTRecent developments in AI compel an update of the “standard definition of creativity.” This short article cites various proposed additions to the standard definition, which point to Surprise, Value, Authenticity, and Intentionality. The latter two are the most useful when distinguishing human from artificial (machine) creativity. Artificial creativity can be contrasted with pseudo-creativity as well as human creativity. Artificial creativity may be the best way to describe the output from AI. Even when that output is original and effective, it lacks the authenticity and intentionality that is apparent in human creativity. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. As of June 2023.
期刊介绍:
Creativity Research Journal publishes high-quality, scholarly research capturing the full range of approaches to the study of creativity--behavioral, clinical, cognitive, crosscultural, developmental, educational, genetic, organizational, psychoanalytic, psychometrics, and social. Interdisciplinary research is also published, as is research within specific domains (e.g., art, science) and research on critical issues (e.g., aesthetics, genius, imagery, imagination, incubation, insight, intuition, metaphor, play, problem finding and solving). Integrative literature reviews and theoretical pieces that appreciate empirical work are extremely welcome, but purely speculative articles are not published. Readers are encouraged to send commentaries, comments, and evaluative book reviews.
