Abstract
What is the relationship between image generative artificial intelligence (AI) and human creative ability? What are AI Hallucinations? And how might a methodology of critical consciousness be utilized with generative AI to facilitate enhanced creative ability? In sweeping fashion AiI has now integrated every facet of human endeavor from writing stories to identifying disease, and from education to art. Many people fear that AI will result in diminished creativity in human culture. However, by itself AI does not do anything. It is only when engaged by people that Generative AI can produce something. Therefore, the ways and methodologies in which we use it become critically relevant and will determine its effects upon us and our culture. AI Hallucinations are commonly considered to be non-sensical, but when interrogated they can reveal a deeper value. These unexpected juxtapositions can shift our perspectives and lead to new kinds of questions and unexamined connections and relationships. AI, like any tool, when used creatively can become an invaluable source for stimulating the imagination. In French there is a term that means the perfect word: “Le Mot Juste”. In seeking experimental semantics in crafting prompts for AI image generation, “Le Mot Juste” is an avenue for creative expansion and enhanced learning. This work explores the correlation between enhanced creative ability, accelerated deep learning, the creative assessment of images produced by generative AI and a process of critical consciousness that embraces semantic rarity and complexity in the crafting of prompts for image generative AI.
