Do you think AI can replicate the emotional impact of a human-created painting or song? Why
or why not?
Innovation
Introduction of new ideas or methods, similar to invention
AI is driving innovation in many industries.
What’s the most impressive innovation you’ve seen recently? And what do you like about it?

Why is authenticity important in art and communication?
Algorithmic
Related to a set of rules a computer follows
AI creates music using algorithmic patterns.
Have you noticed how apps like Instagram, TikTok, or Spotify show you things you like? That’s
because of algorithmic systems. Do you think these algorithms help us discover new things, or
do they limit what we see? Why?
Subjectivity

Reading passage:
Title: Can AI Truly Be Creative?
In recent years, artificial intelligence has demonstrated impressive capabilities in producing
music, writing stories, generating digital artwork, and even composing poetry. Algorithms such
as GPT, DALL·E, and others have astonished the public with their ability to generate content
that resembles human-made creations. However, the central question remains: can AI truly be
creative, or is it merely imitating patterns it has learned?
Human creativity is deeply tied to emotion, consciousness, and cultural experience. While AI
can analyze massive datasets and generate outputs based on them, it lacks intention, emotion,
and subjective experience. For example, an AI might generate a song similar in style to Mozart,
but it doesn’t understand the historical or emotional significance behind that composition.
Some experts argue that creativity can be defined as the production of something new and
useful. If that’s the case, then AI could be seen as creative. However, others insist that real
creativity involves personal expression and emotional depth—qualities AI does not yet possess.
In conclusion, while AI can replicate and even innovate within a given framework, it may never
fully replace the unique, emotional, and intuitive process of human creativity.
What is the main argument of the text?
What makes human creativity different from AI’s?
Discussion questions:
Do you think AI can really be creative, or is it just copying ideas?
Do you think AI will become better than humans at art, music, or writing?
What are the risks of relying on AI-generated creative work?
Could AI help people become more creative rather than replace them?
In your opinion, what is the essence of creativity? Or what does “being creative” really mean to
you?
Should AI-generated content be labeled clearly (Should we always be told when something is
made by AI)? Why or why not?
How would you feel if your favorite song or book turned out to be written by AI?
Can AI create something emotional, like a sad song or a love poem? Why or why not?
Would you buy a painting or a book if you knew it was made by AI? Why or why not?
Can you think of a job where human creativity is more important than technology?
