Abstract
The new beginning of the digital era might be the end of human creativity. This could be one way of understanding our current digital predicament. The rapid advance of artificial intelligence, in particular in its relatively novel form of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), may be read in an apocalyptic way as threatening to colonise human life up to an extent that human intelligence becomes entirely subjected to AI or even obsolete. To elucidate the current human predicament, it is of great importance to grasp what we mean by creativity, and also to clarify how we assess the workings of GenAI in terms of intelligence, imagination, and creativity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
