Can AI Be a Prompt, Not an Answer, in Creative Work?
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into creative fields, a crucial question arises: Should AI serve as a tool to inspire human creativity rather than replace it? Experts at RIT explore how AI can act as a creative prompt, helping artists, writers, and designers push boundaries while ensuring human ingenuity remains at the core. Discussions highlight the balance between leveraging AI for efficiency and preserving the authenticity of artistic expression, advocating for a future where AI collaborates rather than dictates creative processes.
