Can artificial intelligence be a muse to creativity? - TechHQ

Creativity is thought of as a uniquely human trait, born from our conscious observations and interpretations of ourselves and the world around us-- in that sense, it's not something machines should ever be capable of. Nonetheless, few would doubt the'left-brain' potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ability to paw through massive datasets-- extracting insights, predictions, and patterns, all of which can then inform a program's next action as a result, and enable technology to serve as our digital assistant. While we may not always know clearly how it's making decisions, we can be relatively sure those choices are driven by logic. It's not to say current uses of AI are exclusive from creative industries or art. For example, AI can comb through banks of historical, creative data and generate new content, based on a patchwork of previous data and an'understanding' of average formats.
