AI vs Human Creativity: Artificial Intelligences (AI) have seen explosive development in the last several years, altering industries across the spectrum, from healthcare to entertainment. There is significant debate right now about the implications of AI, specifically in the world of art. Now tools powered by AIs are composing music, generating paintings, writing poetry, even fashion design. With these developments, it begs the question – can machines really take the place of human artists?
AI art is often powered by machine learning algorithms, particularly a style called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These systems take thousands of examples and then generate content based on a combined understanding of the training examples. For example, DALL·E and Midjourney produce stunning visuals based on simple text prompts, while ChatGPT can whip up poems or entire stories in seconds.
Malfunctioning or not, AI is impressive. But human creativity is emotional, subjective and deeply personal. Artists are creating, and expressing, human experience, emotion and cultural worldview that a machine cannot false and in turn, create a human experience, emotion, and cultural worldview relevant to history and society. Human creativity emerges out of struggle, inspiration, and a need to communicate something special or important to them. This is an area where AIs can have data, but are missing lived experience.
Instead of seeing AI as a threatening competitor, many artists view it as a collaborator. AI tools may provide ideas, inspire production and create new tools for experimentation. Musicians use AI to produce original soundscapes; designers use algorithms to produce patterns they never would have imagined. In this way, AI is a collaborator, not a replacement.
As AI technology continues to expands its place in the creative industry, ethical concerns arise. For example, who owns art made by AI? Should the machine get credit? How can we be sure there is originality if any art style can easily be mimic to create variants by algorithms? These concerns bring to light the importance of defining protocols and careful reflection about AI’s role in the arts.

While AI is not going to shut down a human artist, it will affect the creative process. The future will be centered around a symbiotic relationship that allows human imagination and machine intelligence to harmoniously provide creative opportunities. The best of all worlds will occur when emotional sensibilities and technology sort through their obstacles of producing masterpieces together!
