The Dilemma of Relying on AI for Creative Thinking
September 30, 2025 - 19:40
As the use of AI tools like ChatGPT becomes increasingly common in educational settings, a pressing question arises: why do we accept students using these technologies for brainstorming when this very process is fundamental to human creativity? Brainstorming is not just a method for generating ideas; it is a deeply human activity that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and personal expression.
Allowing AI to take over this essential cognitive function risks undermining the development of these skills in students. While AI can provide suggestions and help organize thoughts, it lacks the emotional depth and personal experiences that shape truly original ideas. The reliance on AI for brainstorming may lead to a homogenization of thought, where unique perspectives are overshadowed by algorithmically generated content.
Educators and students alike must consider the implications of letting AI influence the creative process. Balancing the benefits of technology with the need for authentic human creativity is crucial in ensuring that future generations can think independently and innovate meaningfully.
