#14 Is AI really just a tool?

“AI is just a tool.” We hear this sentence almost every day. And at first, it makes sense. A hammer can build a house or hurt someone. The internet can help you learn something, or help someone scam you.But AI is a strange new kind of tool.In this episode, I look at what a tool actually is, whether technology is ever completely neutral, and what changes when our tools begin to answer back, interpret what we mean, suggest alternatives, surprise us, and even influence the direction of an idea.What happens to creativity when our tools start answering back?–🔗 Discover more at zero1cine.com Follow on Instagram | YouTube | Twitter XHosted by the award-winning filmmaker Odair Faleco

We keep arguing about whether AI is creative, whether it is killing creativity, or whether it is about to unlock a new cultural renaissance.Small problem: we still do not fully agree on what creativity actually is.In this episode, I look at different definitions of creativity, from personal discovery and everyday problem-solving to professional practice and ideas that genuinely transform a field. We move through visual art, music, mathematics, design, coding, and filmmaking—and ask whether all of these are really the same kind of creative act.I also talk about my own experience. Since I started working with generative AI, I have rarely felt more creatively active. Not because the machine suddenly gave me better ideas, but because it helped me turn ideas that used to remain trapped in my head into images, scenes, sounds, and films.We also explore the stranger side of the debate: while we worry that machines are becoming more human, humans have spent decades doing repetitive, mechanical work that machines were supposedly invented to handle. Very efficient. Slightly tragic.So, can machines create art? Is creativity located in the object, the process, the intention, or the audience? And are we becoming more creative—or simply more productive?Maybe creativity is not disappearing.Maybe it is moving...
