I'm not English-native but I'm under the impression that this verb is spelled correctly redefine, isn't it? Or is this proof of AI creativity?

I wouldn't know what "redefining human intelligence" might possibly mean.
As far as creativity is concerned: I believe AI most certainly has an impact in the sense that it might function as a suggesting tool for ideas. Imagine being a singer-songwriter: I can't help but think it must be very tempting to let AI come up with some criteria-based melody and then use that further as a basis.
But I wouldn't call this "redefining creativity". It's more like introducing lazines... See more I wouldn't know what "redefining human intelligence" might possibly mean.

But I wouldn't call this "redefining creativity". It's more like introducing laziness, comfort and speed in the creativity process, so instead of redefining creativity the better choice of words would probably be "redefining the creativity process". ▲ Collapse

It’s distorting creativity and the repetion of data is not intelligence, intelligence is much more than that.
Musicians have melodies and melody ideas in their heads, they don’t need AI for this.

Musicians also have writer's block. And then there is the large majority of aspring musicians that lack the creativity to come up with a decent song. I'm not saying AI will make them world stars, but they will do better than without it. And I'm not even mentioning the battery of songwriters behind all those world pop stars. It's a real industry and I think it would be naive to think that the zillion song farts they produce are the result of their arty-farty creativity.
Apart from that you are absolutely right that artists don't need AI, but that's not the point.

I was referring to real musicians, who had classical music education. AI would only distort their knowledge and waste their time.

Maybe they meant "AI is ridifining human intelligence and creativity" as in "getting rid of".
Not sure, will ask ChatGPT.

Maybe – in a sense that anyone can feel very creative now. I've seen some funny AI-produced videos and agree that it could potentially be used in creative ways by people who know what they are doing or have something to say, but other than that there is nothing intelligent or creative about using data sets obtained from actual human intelligence and creativity.

| Define "redefining" | Apr 3 |
The question, as it is currently worded, is simply a stark reminder that most of the AI hype is built around grandiose but ultimately meaningless buzzwords. "Redefine" can mean so much, it means absolutely nothing without some supporting words.

Not all 'real musicians' have a classical music education! There are brilliant musicians out there who can't even read music. Traditional musicians have always learned to play by ear and in some ways are better for it.

I probably used a wrong term, and yes, you are right. I didn’t mean “real” in terms of better (that’s your own interpretation, and a wrong one), I meant in terms of acquisition and learning methodology. Their methodology is not in line with AI and they wouldn’t benefit from it at all.

I don't think traditional musicians would be at all interested in or improved by AI either. Music is about so much more than just finding a brilliant composition or a clever arrangement. It is about communication, bonding, being social ... being human basically.
One of the dangers of AI is that human striving in all kinds of fields will be replaced by a sense of 'why bother', which will be a huge loss to us all.

My music teacher used to say that a basic sense of rhythm comes from our heart, i.e. heartbeats. AI has a heart, the last time I checked.

Sure, AI is 'redifining' the future: no spellcheck needed, just pure brilliance... with a hint of chaos... kind of like this site!

| Too much credit given to a piece of software made by engineers | Apr 3 |
We live in an era where software developers and engineers are society's deities inasmuch as that society is more utilitarian than humane (or humanistic).

We get enough marketing hype out there about the virtues, advantages and inevitable success of AI to have to recreate it here. I don't particularly care for Proz' rules about creating polls if they're just mouthpieces of whatever commercial babble is heard outside of this platform. Given the abundance of topics of interest to translators, linguists, interpreters and other language professionals, I have to wonder what they're smoking to keep harping on AI.
Only a robot would state that AI is redefining human intelligence and creativity. We are not automatons, robots or software slaves...unless we start talking and thinking like one. ▲ Collapse
