Generative AI and creative practices
This essay reflects on divergences and overlaps across two approaches—the industrial and the artistic —in current debates about generative AI and creative practices. We articulate some key differences between the two through the semantic variances in four keywords: technology , creativity , skill , and authorship . These keywords continue to be essential vocabulary in present interdisciplinary investigations into the impact of generative AI on cr…

The recent emergence of generative AI software as viable tools for use in the cultural and creative industries has sparked debates about the potential for “creativity” to be automated and “augmented” by algorithmic machines. Such discussions, however, begin from an ontological position, attempting to define creativity by either falling prey to universalism (i.e. “creativity is X”) or reductionism (i.e. “only humans can be truly creative” or “huma…

The auteur Carl Theodor Dreyer won global renown during his five-decade career. Documentary and educational filmmaking flour…
