DEMYSTIFYING: human creativity vs. Artificial Creativity

The more we know, the more AI knows; it can extrapolate and learn based on the collective data it has received, but its capacity for creative thinking and ability to conceive of something brand new are limited. While AI tools can fashion arguments in new ways, perhaps by reorganizing existing ideas, framing them differently, or even combining them in novel ways - these arguments would not be considered novel in the sense of presenting entirely new ideas or concepts that have not been previously explored or discussed. They would be a recombination or reinterpretation of existing information.

RISK: stagnation and lack of sensitivity

Overreliance on AI to generate 'new' (or new-to-you) arguments, rather than applying your own lawyer creativity, could have a stagnating effect on the law. It also runs the risk of offending clients or not adequately responding to their situations or needs, as AI tools won't take into account who your clients are and what might be sensitive to them.

MITIGATION

While AI tools can be useful in brainstorming - through thoughtful prompting - artificial creativity (generating content) is no match for human creativity (generating imaginative ideas), and there is no substitute for human sensitivity. Make sure your mind is doing that creative work and leaving room for sensitivity.

POLICY CHECKLIST FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

Remember that your role as lawyer doesn't change.

  • CheckmarkIt is up to you to do the creative work. Think about the big picture and analogous areas of law from which you can drive creative arguments.

  • CheckmarkYou know the client and their particular human needs and sensitivities. Make sure these human considerations are factored into what arguments are included and how they are expressed.

Did You Know?

did you know…?

In 2016, a team of data scientists, engineers, and art historians used machine learning algorithms to analyze Rembrandt's paintings and create a new piece in the style of the Dutch master. The resulting portrait, titled "The Next Rembrandt," was not a direct copy of any existing work but rather a new creation based on patterns found in Rembrandt's oeuvre.

Did You Try...

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS FOR FUN…?

Try using AI to plan your dream vacation! AI tools, such as Google's Gemini (formerly Google Bard) can help you plan an amazing, and highly detailed vacation with just a few prompts. You can even ask it to find the best flight options for your trip, plan your days down to the minute, or locate that perfect beachfront hotel. But don't forget to use the tips we've provided for your legal practice to your vacation planning, and double check the itinerary it suggests and pricing it shows just in case Gemini was a little off when aligning those stars for your grand getaway.
