ABSTRACT

The capabilities of humans and AI systems to be creative and perform alongside one another have given rise to new practices of ‘artificial creativity’. In this article, I argue that artificial creativity demonstrates the potential to empower individuals to interface and critically dialogue with computational systems. Reframed as artificial ‘everyday’ creativity, I focus on the curious, joyful and adjacent modes of everyday creativity by including hybrid materials that embrace alternative pedagogies of code and computation. Through the interdisciplinary design approach of ‘critical making’, I craft two unconventionally-coded artefacts that dialogue with AI systems, namely CryptoCrochet-Key and Internet of Towels. Both artefacts are analysed using a four-pronged creativity framework to understand the material translation processes in the artificial everyday creativity practice. With rising concerns about AI's role in misinformation, bias and discrimination, the discussion explores the generative value and limitations of artificial everyday creativity towards the broader goals of civic data literacy and user empowerment.

摘要

人类和 AI 系统的创造力和相互合作的能力催生了“人工创造力”的新实践。在这篇文章中，我认为人工创造力展示了使个人能够与计算系统进行交互和批判性对话的潜力。作为人造的“日常”创造力，我通过包含包含替代代码和计算教学法的混合材料，专注于日常创造力的好奇、快乐和相邻模式。通过“批判性制作”的跨学科设计方法，我制作了两个与人工智能系统对话的非常规编码的人工制品，即CryptoCrochet-Key和Internet of Towels. 这两种人工制品都使用四管齐下的创造力框架进行分析，以了解人工日常创造力实践中的材料翻译过程。随着人们越来越关注人工智能在错误信息、偏见和歧视中的作用，讨论探讨了人工日常创造力的生成价值和局限性，以实现公民数据素养和用户赋权的更广泛目标。
