From Automated Arms to Automated Brains

Abstract

There is high potential for AI in education, but the technology also presents creative learning challenges. Educationists are experimenting with AI which is re-configuring creativity learning. Reports indicate a creativity crisis in contemporary education, and this chapter investigates whether the adoption of AI will enhance or diminish human creativity. The chapter posits that due to AI's focus on artificial efficiency, the reductionism decreases human literary creative freedom and risks creating automated brains. AI's LLMs focus on reductive artificial linguistic efficiency which narrows literary variation, eroding the spell power of human language. Artificial intelligence can reconfigure but could not replace human creativity. Since creativity undergirds human inventions, business, social development, and progress, it needs to be protected and enhanced. There is need for research into enhancing authentic human literary and philosophical creativity in the time of AI.
