Can a generative artificial intelligence refined by learning processes o be as creative as a human?

Can a generative artificial intelligence refined by learning processes be as creative as human creativity since thought processes, consciousness, emotions etc. are also involved in human creativity?

On the one hand, artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly due to emerging new applications and dynamic technological advances. The very conception, definition and development of artificial intelligence on the basis of the third technological revolution already started several decades emu. However, the significant acceleration of the development of various solutions and applications of artificial intelligence in the context of the current fourth technological revolution has occurred over the last few years. In contrast, a significant increase in public interest in this issue has occurred in the last few months, i.e. since November 2022, when the company OpenAI made available in open access to Internet users an artificial intelligence built in the formulation of a generative language model as ChatGPT, i.e. an automated chat that learns and improves itself based on the answers given to Internet users who ask questions in relation to this system. Many citizens, through a kind of conversation with ChatGPT, i.e. a conversation with an artificial intelligence, began to experience something that could be compared to what they saw many years ago in, for example, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 Oscar-winning science fiction film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The film's plot was inspired by the novel by Arthur C. Clarke.

However, this development also generates potential risks and dangers of inappropriate application of as much advanced artificial intelligence technology. An example is the already developing disinformation in the new online media, including mainly social media, generated by the creation and posting in these media of texts, photos, films created by artificial intelligence, which look as if they were created by a human being and present a kind of "fictitious facts", i.e. very credibly and precisely depict, describe events that in reality never happened. And what if, as part of the technological advances taking place, artificial intelligence is taught the thought processes typical of humans? What if something that could be described as artificial consciousness is created? What if, as part of the aforementioned thought processes carried out by artificial intelligence enriched with artificial consciousness, autonomous, thinking robots are created that acquire characteristics hitherto considered typical only of humans? What if these are also features of the human psyche, and which artificial intelligence could use as a tool for self-improvement, to escape human control? Would then a scenario like the one we know from the Terminator series of films, in which the main character is an autonomous, intelligent robot played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, be possible? Is it possible that highly intelligent machines, which humans will teach to think and equip with what will be described as artificial consciousness, will completely spin out of control and turn against their creator, i.e. humans? for the moment, these are questions that inspire paraphilosophical considerations. But it cannot be ruled out that soon these questions could be more substantively justified.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Can a generative artificial intelligence perfected by learning processes be as creative as human creativity since thought processes, consciousness, emotions, etc. are also involved in the process of human creativity?

And what is your opinion on this?

What is your opinion on this subject?

Please respond,

I invite you all to discuss,

Thank you very much,
