    LLMs analyse their inputs and create a stochastic model (i.e.: a guess of how randomness is distributed in a domain) of which word comes next.

    Yes, it can help in a creative process, but so can literal noise. It can’t “be creative” in itself.

      How that preclude these models from being creative? Randomness within rules can be pretty creative. All life on earth is the result of selection on random mutations. Its output is way more structured and coherent than random noise. That’s not a good comparison at all.

      Either way, generative tools are a great way for the people using to create with, no model has to be creative on its own.

        They lack intentionality, simple as that.

        Yup, my original point still stands.

            Are you serious?

            Intentionality is integral to communication. Creative art is a subset of communication.

                  I don’t think all creativity requires intentionality. Some forms of creativity are the accumulation of unintentional outcomes, like when someone sets out to copy a thing, but due to mistakes or other factors outside their control end up with something unique to what they were going for.
