Artificial Intelligence (AI) has exerted significant influence on human existence for several decades.It has proven immensely beneficial across diverse sectors, including literature and art.AI's impact is evident in its ability to generate literary texts like novels and produce visual artworks like paintings.This transformation has seen a shift in computer science from merely assisting artists to taking on the role of creators themselves.However, an ongoing debate questions the creative nature of artworks produced by AI and whether AI's creative capacity can stand on par with human ingenuity.This study seeks to compare the emergence of creativity in human thought processes and AI-generated works, shedding light on novel perspectives for defining creativity within the realms of literature and art, driven by technological progress.The initial focus of this investigation involves critiquing AI's creative prowess in literary text creation, employing elements of novel analysis such as imagination and plot as evaluative tools.Subsequently, the examination extends to AI's imaginative capacities in the realm of visual art, particularly painting.Psychological facets such as emotional resonance and reasoning come into play during this assessment.Illustrative instances of AI-generated works include Ross Godwin's experimental "wordcar" programs, resulting in a unique book, and Harold Cohen's AARON, a drawing program.In conclusion, it can be inferred that AI-crafted artwork warrants recognition as a form of creativity.Nevertheless, while AI-generated visual art showcases this attribute effectively, AI-created literary text still has a considerable journey ahead before attaining the status of genuinely creative literature.Furthermore, specific criteria governing the development of literary works, such as narrative complexity and documentary authenticity, currently remain beyond AI's capabilities.
