Human creativity vs AI creativity [Infographic]
5 July 2024 – Vol 2, Issue 3.
While AI can generate outputs that might be perceived as creative, this perception is often misleading. AI’s outputs, though sometimes original and effective, lack the depth and authenticity seen in human creativity.

Human Creativity |
Artificial (AI) Creativity |
|
| Driven by genuine interest |
Motivation |
Operates based on programmed instructions and data |
| Involves deliberate and mindful choices |
Intentionality |
Lacks intentionality, follows pre-set algorithms |
| Reflects unique perspectives and emotions | Authenticity | Outputs are derivative, based on processed information |
| Excels at identifying, defining, and formulating problems uniquely | Problem Finding | Can only address problems it has been programmed to recognize |
| Complex cognitive processes | Process | Data-driven mechanisms |
| Original ideas often emerge spontaneously | Originality | Can produce original outputs but lacks true novelty |
| Novel ideas arise from simple components through complex processes | Emergence | Combines existing information, often leading to derivative results |
| Products of complex neurological processes | Hallucinations | Computational errors or anomalies |
| Reflects personal insights and feelings | Self-expression | No self-expression; outputs lack a personal touch |
Human creativity is characterised by genuine interest, deliberate choices, unique perspectives, emotions, problem-finding, complex cognitive processes, spontaneous originality, personal insights, and self-expression.
Artificial intelligence output is characterised by programmed instructions, pre-set algorithms, processed information, data-driven mechanisms, derivative results, computational errors, and no self-expression.
