LLM is helpful for creativity and thinking When you run out of your ideas

I sometimes feel that a lot of people bringing up the topic of creativity have never spent much time thinking, studying and self-reflecting on what "creativity" actually is. It's a complex topic and one that's mixed up with many other complex topics ("originality", "intellectual property", "aesthetic value", "art vs engineering" etc etc)

You see a lot of Motte and Bailey arguments in this discussion as people shift (often subconsciously) between different definitions of key terms and different historical perspectives.

I'd recommend someone tries to gain at least a passing familiarity with art history and the social history of art/design etc. Reading a bit of Edward De Bono and Douglas Hofstadter isn't a bad shout either (although it's many years since I've read the former so I can't guarantee it will stand up as well as my teenage self thought it did)
