Can AI Be Creative?
summary
Generative AI models based on Transformer architectures use randomness to recombine patterns from their training data rather than creating ex nihilo; examples cited include GPT-3 (175 billion parameters) and a rumored 1.6 trillion‑parameter GPT-4, with GPT-3 training taking about a month and costing roughly $5M. The talk highlights surprising failures and experiments—an AI virtual minister, an AI‑run Krakow radio that closed after a week, and an AI‑generated image winning a 2023 Colorado show—and argues that human creativity contributes intention, emotion, and authorship beyond algorithmic hallucinations.
