“‘Human and AI creativity may not be so different,’ said Benjamin Hoover, a machine learning researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology and IBM Research who studies diffusion models. ‘We assemble things based on what we experience, what we’ve dreamed, what we’ve seen, heard or desire. AI is also just assembling the building blocks from what it’s seen and what it’s asked to do.’ Both human and artificial creativity, according to this view, could be fundamentally rooted in an incomplete understanding of the world: We’re all doing our best to fill in the gaps in our knowledge, and every now and then we generate something that’s both new and valuable. Perhaps this is what we call creativity.” Webb Wright, “Researchers uncover hidden ingredients behind AI creativity,” LiveScience, 27 Sep. 2025.
