Abstract

We study here the notion of creative personhood and what it is like to be in the presence of a creative individual. We suggest ideas for what creative personhood means in human society and propose how this may help to develop generative AI systems. Situating the study in the philosophy of computational creativity, we address notions of agency, self-expression, individuality and responsible behaviours associated with human creativity. We apply this analysis to an initial consideration of the ChatGPT generative text system, in terms of its potential to exhibit elements of creative personhood.
