Identifiers (Article)
Abstract
Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly popular tool in contemporary art production, ushering in new forms of creativity, exploration, and artistic expression that were not possible before it existed. As such, AI has the potential to transform the art world and the way artists work and produce. However, working with and understanding AI, as a creation tool, raises a series of questions in relation to its internal functioning, its ethical implications, and how human critical capacity intervenes in the man-machine creative process. For this reason, with the human will to dialogue with AI as a direct inquiry about the environment, the research methodology that gives meaning to the content of this creative essay has been carried out emulating the Socratic method. Through this teaching technique based on dialogue and questions, an attempt will be made to surround the truth, and to frame the state of the art of AI in relation to the creative process. The steps that have been followed have been: extract the information-story through the ChatGPT assistance tool, filter and verify, add own content to the story. The goal: to show a dialogue (διά + λόγος) as a creative process, which incorporates a critical sense along the chain-sequence of informational return and wandering meaning.
