    AI creates output from a stochastic model of its’ training data. That’s not a creative process.

        LLMs analyse their inputs and create a stochastic model (i.e.: a guess of how randomness is distributed in a domain) of which word comes next.

        Yes, it can help in a creative process, but so can literal noise. It can’t “be creative” in itself.

          How that preclude these models from being creative? Randomness within rules can be pretty creative. All life on earth is the result of selection on random mutations. Its output is way more structured and coherent than random noise. That’s not a good comparison at all.

          Either way, generative tools are a great way for the people using to create with, no model has to be creative on its own.

            They lack intentionality, simple as that.

            Yup, my original point still stands.
