Can an AI model be creative?

Question

To calm worries about AI's power we often hear arguments that it's simply a tool. But recent research shows that GPT-4 already exceeds humans in divergent thinking, a core aspect of creativity. According to The University of Arkansas' study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53303-w), AI produced more "original and elaborate answers than the human participants."

What is your take on this? Can AI be creative, or is it just a powerful algorithmic prediction tool awaiting human direction?

I'll start :). AI might get there someday, but not yet. Creativity's way deeper than just throwing wild ideas. And, most importantly, AI models still rely on human input, without it there will be just stagnation.

I'll start :). My take on it - most likely at some point, but AI is not there yet. Creativity is more complex than just throwing wild ideas. And, most importantly, AI models still rely on human input, without it there will be just stagnation.
