I recently wrote an article about this on my substack which I wanted to share here.

The basic points are that

Current AI cannot make any judgments of its own
It does not have any explanatory power, it works only based on inferred correlations of data

At the end of the article I ask a question. I would really like to know how people answer this question. Do let me know here or on the article comments.

Feel like alphago literally created a new move(strategy?) in Go a couple years ago.

I’d firmly characterize novelty as creativity. I think there’s instances in art where a sort of almost instinctual progress comes before abstract understanding.

To your question if the chimp made a chess move that a human would never even THINK of making them it did something creative

A lot of people seem to be answering 'yes' to the final question which is actually not what I expected. I guess that means that my understanding of 'creativity' might be different to most other people's understanding.

Thanks a lot for reading it.

As a artist I feel like incapable of generating good compositions. Yeah there is the golden ratio or rule of thirds but there are many unorthodox compositions.

Also theme and conceptual thinking behind a series of work
