Human creativity is not some magical thing. Plenty of humans create things of absolutely no value to their surroundings while being creative.
Creativity is much more likely a human way of understanding the ability to create new new things with some sort of a purpose or intent.
But humans have limits to their ability to create things too. There are things that only machines can create and perform.
- freyr 10y agoThey can create things only in the sense that they receive a set of inputs and produce deterministic outputs according to a process explicitly specified by an prespecified algorithm. It's not "creative" in the conventional sense of the word, but perhaps humans do essentially the same thing in a much more advanced way.
- ThomPete 10y agoYeah I guess the point is that human creativity is expressed in some sort of skills/trade which are learnable whether it's playing an instrument, painting or writing a poem. The state of human creativity is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years of trial and error. It can be put into an evolutionary context and so in my belief, is accessible to computers who now can also learn.
