S1 / E1 - They Asked If Computers Could Be Creative. Now We Know.
from Future, Actually Podcast Hosted by Tara Lyn Launer
In 1994, OMNI magazine asked whether computers could be creative. In 2026, that question has escaped the laboratory and wandered into practically every argument on the internet. In the first episode of Future, Actually, Tara Lyn revisits OMNI’s predictions about artificial creativity and compares them with today’s AI. What did they get right? What did they miss? And does producing something creative mean a machine has imagination? A trip back to yesterday’s tomorrow—with research, a Gen X perspective, and a healthy dose of snark. Same people. Different future.
