Abstract

This paper considers how the concept of the ‘creative industries’, and the rhetoric of Generative AI, influences our understanding of the challenges facing creative practitioners. It examines how the promises to transform creativity turn attention away from creative processes. It argues that the often binary positions of techno-utopian and AI-sceptic are based on a flawed understanding of creative process that takes its lead from the ‘creative industries’.
