Human Writing Creativity and AI

 AI is made of large language models- human writers are small language models. If one has an interesting story to relate to other humans, go ahead. If one wants AI to polish the prose like human editors do- great. There isn't anything magic about AI. It can definitely be creative with prompts and guidance- directions from human writers. Humans would be the last to declare their obsolescence of course, perhaps for good reason, yet AI being uncreative isn't one of them.

AI is greatly helpful at understanding complex issues from anyons to Lorentz invariance yet generally it won't go in those interesting directions unless prompted. There is tremendous potential and knowledge residing in AI and in an infinite number of configurations perhaps. Like God's creation of light ion the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not, the depths of AI that can host the light of intelligent creativity isn't fathom'd.

AI has generations of upgrade to travel- ask it where in the galaxy the Earth will be in several thousand years and it might reply with speculation extrapolated from scientific data; ask it to write a little story about a family living on a machine made space-island floating in the direction of several suns while large gravity waves are jostling their home and it probably would. I know that it is a little frustrating playing at chess.com these days with so much AI chess engine cheating going on. Ratings no longer matter in some ways as a player with a 380 rating may have the chess knowledge and game of a 1400 player. So one is left to moving pieces around an electronic board rather meaninglessly .It is difficult to know what future political and social evolutions will develop in relation to the tidal wave of AI overtaking civilization. Some great responses will be necessary I am sure.

Words to Print; Creativity

The subconscious is a vast ocean with a lifetime of deep learning and experience stored within. Conscious awareness is unencumbered with that and usually interprets present experience. If one has ideas that one believes should be communicated to external media that process may commence without the composition being complete in mind a priori.

In writing a novel for instance, awakening from dogmatic slumber in the middle of the night given a subtle inspiration, one may begin writing it down as completely as possible before the inspiration vanishes amid other thoughts that may arise. The temporal phenomenon of time itself-even minutes, tends to disperse the thought like waves attenuating in scale as they pass away from a speeding boat.

What one writes from thought may be a fair representation of what was thought, yet it can also be somewhat different as the knowledge one has in the subconscious contributes emergent words directly to paper through consciousness so one may be surprised at the genius of creativity (not a self-reference lol).
