AI and Creativity: Who Owns the Idea?
AI can generate options. Human creativity still involves intention, taste, experience, selection and revision.
The useful distinction
Generation is only one step in a creative process. Deciding what deserves to exist, for whom and why is also creative work.
A practical example
When I use AI to help structure an essay or a webpage, I still choose the subject, reject weak ideas, edit the tone, test links and take responsibility for the final publication.
The open question
Attribution, ownership and training-data ethics remain live legal and social debates. Tool-assisted work should not be mistaken for wholly unassisted production.
