I think creativity is the uniquely human ability to come up with ideas/solutions formed through their unique lived experiences. Cause of that, I do think you can become “more” creative – through trying new things, and meeting people different from you.
For the experiment, I used Google Gemini. I don’t think its response was particularly creative. I asked it to write a poem in the style of Frank Ocean, a music artist. Here’s what it gave me:

“The streetlights bleed orange through the tinted glass. We are moving too fast to read the signs, just letting the city blur into something soft. You smell like chlorine and wet concrete, a suburban summer caught in your bleached hair.

I think about the way you looked at the deep end, half afraid to jump but wanting the water to swallow you. Now the radio is playing a song we do not know the words to, humming low under the sound of the engine.

White sneakers resting on the dashboard, counting miles like they are loose change in a pocket. You ask me if the world feels different at night. I just keep my hands on the wheel, watching the taillights ahead fade into the dark.

We loved each other in the spaces between the quiet. A fleeting kind of gold, slipping through my fingers before the sun even tried to rise.”

Although I could see the inspiration it used to draft what I asked, it still felt uninspired. Frank talks a lot about his environment and tries to use metaphors for how he feels in his music, but something like the last sentence just isn’t what a song of his would sound like. Also, no contractions (“We are moving” – sounds unnatural) or any colloquial language also shows LLMs’ current lack of being able to copy and artist’s entire style (which is probably for the better of art).

Alan Turing’s quote from the slides: “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.” resonates with me in this example. I think no one would be able to be convinced that a human wrote these lyrics.

I think our experiments this week definitely showed me more of the limitations of AI when it comes to the creative sphere. I mostly use AI for other kinds of computing, so it is interesting to think about its role in shaping entertainment and art as we know it (right now).
