This seminar is about how Generative AI influences our creative development and humans process. Therefore we will investigate how GenAI is used to generate Artworks or to work together with humans. The seminar is focused on discussions and forming a glimpse of an answer. We aim on achieving this by reading and presenting several papers from the area of HCI, philosophy, and psychology.
