Episode 5: Why AI can't be creative (yet)

from Holly and Ewan Are Working On It Podcast · host Holly and Ewan Are Working On It Podcast

In this episode, Holly and Ewan explore whether artificial intelligence can ever truly be creative. They discuss how large language models tend to produce the most probable (and often bland) responses, why human creativity is driven by risk, emotion, and purpose, and how AI’s so-called “hallucinations” might be the closest it gets to genuine imagination. Along the way they touch on philosophy, art, and how children are learning to express creativity in a digital world, asking whether technology is helping or hindering our creative instincts.If you've got feedback, we'd love to hear it.
