Of all human activities, the most profoundly fitting to our human nature, differentiated from a mechanical way of acting, are the cultural activities that give us the very essence of «ευ ζείν» (live well.) AI has created works that imitate Van Gogh and Beethoven, but will it ever be able to create original works that speak to the human soul, while expressing the insight and emotions of writers, poets, painters, sculptors, their perception of the Zeitgast, the spirit of our times? The question is whether AI, on its own, can transform human civilization, if it can create civilization.
