Seeing AI as a collaborator, not a creator

But none of that would have been possible if I hadn't been bored and curious. The university computer lab may seem at first like an unlikely center for creativity. We tend to think of creativity as happening more in the artist's studio or writers' workshop. But throughout history, very often our greatest creative leaps--and I would argue that the web and its descendants represent one such leap--have been due to advances in technology. There are the big easy examples, like photography or the printing press, but it's also true of all sorts of creative inventions that we often take for granted.
