S2 #7 - What is Originality?

Originality is at the heart of what makes us human — but in an age of algorithms and instant outputs, what does it really mean to be original? 🎨🤖In this episode of ArtOfficial Intelligence, Olisa Menakaya (Menakaya Academy) and Henrietta Wright (ArtbySatteirneh) unpack the tension between AI-generated content and authentic human creativity. From classrooms to canvases to code, we explore why originality matters, how it resists rubrics and prediction, and why creativity must always be more than copy-and-paste.Together, we reflect on the risks of letting AI take all the creative chances and emphasize the role of artists, educators, and scientists in “coloring outside the code.” Authenticity, context, and soul can’t be automated. These factors are built from lived experience, cultural wisdom, and the courage to take risks.Whether you’re a teacher shaping lesson plans, a researcher debugging experiments, or an artist bringing color to the world, this conversation challenges you to reclaim originality in an AI-saturated landscape.🎙 Tune in to discover why the future of education, science, and art depends not on artificial, but ArtOfficial originality!
