Debate: Human vs AI - The Future of Creativity
Description:
The future of creativity, where human ingenuity faces off against AI, stirs both excitement & concern. On one side - human creativity evangelists who argue that human creativity is deeply rooted in emotional experiences & imaginative leaps-factors that make human creativity irreplaceable. On the other side-AI enthusiasts who think AI will surpass our wildest dreams. They emphasize humans will become more creative through data-driven creativity & the speed of the creative process. As AI advances, questions remain: Can machines truly be creative, or are they merely mimicking human innovation?
