Not everyone has learned to paint, write, or compose. But that doesn’t mean they have nothing to say.
Creating with Artificial Intelligence and Speaking to Everyone
Creativity Should Not Be a Privilege Reserved for a Few
Behind a pseudonym, there may be a person with a great deal to say who has chosen not to reveal themselves directly. Behind an image, there may be a human being who prefers to protect their identity, private life, and personal space. And behind a work created with the help of artificial intelligence, there may be someone who imagines, reflects, chooses, experiments, revises, and searches for a way to give shape to their ideas.
We do not always know who is behind a creation. We do not always know their story, experiences, emotions, or the reasons that led them to choose a particular tool. And perhaps we do not need to know all of these things to engage with what that person wants to communicate.
What matters is that, behind a technology, there may be a human being looking for a way to express themselves.
Not Everyone Knows How to Draw, Write, or Paint. But Everyone May Have Something to Say.
Imagine someone who has an extraordinary image in their mind but does not know how to draw. Or someone who wants to tell a story but does not have the language skills needed to write it as they would like. Think of people with ideas, memories, emotions, and imagination who have never had the opportunity to attend art school, learn to paint, or study the techniques of writing.
Are these people less creative simply because they lack certain skills?
I don’t think so.
Not being able to make something with your own hands does not mean you have nothing to express.
Generative artificial intelligence can offer these people a new possibility: turning an idea into an image, a fantasy into a story, an emotion into a visual composition, or a thought into a form that others can understand.
This does not mean that technology does everything for us, or that every result is automatically a work of value. It means that tools now exist that can open doors that have remained closed to many people for years.
And that possibility deserves to be taken seriously.
Artificial Intelligence Is a Tool. How We Use It Makes the Difference.
Every human being learns from what they encounter throughout life. We learn by listening, reading, observing, talking to others, and experiencing the world.
A writer reads books. A painter studies other painters. A musician listens to music. A photographer studies light and looks at images made by those who came before them.
None of us is born knowing every technique, language, or art form. We grow through what we learn, what we remember, and what we choose to do with our experiences.
Generative artificial intelligence works differently from human beings, but it can become a tool for exploring possibilities, combining ideas, and developing new forms of expression.
The difference also lies in how it is used. A person can accept the first result they receive, or they can search, experiment, revise, select, and work toward what they had imagined.
In the second case, the creative process includes their intentions, preferences, sensibility, and decisions.
Technology does not automatically make an idea original. But neither does the use of technology automatically deprive a work of value.
We should learn to judge what is created without focusing only on the tool used.
There May Be Something Unseen Behind a Creation
Someone may choose an image because it reminds them of childhood. They may search for particular words because those words express something they have experienced. They may want a specific atmosphere because it represents a feeling that is difficult to explain.
Someone looking at the final result may know nothing about any of this.
They may see only a generated image, read a text created with the help of artificial intelligence, or listen to a composition made using digital tools.
And yet, for the person who took part in the process, that creation may have personal meaning.
That meaning is not always visible. It cannot always be measured. It cannot always be explained by the number of hours spent working, the difficulty of the technique used, or the creator’s level of training.
A person’s history does not disappear because they use a technological tool. Their experiences, memories, and intentions can continue to shape what they choose to create.
This does not mean that every AI-generated work is profound or original. It means that we cannot understand the human value of a creative process simply by looking at which technology was used.
The Problem with Speaking Only to a Few
There is another aspect I consider important.
If we use artificial intelligence to expand our creative possibilities, why should we then limit our communication to a narrow audience by adopting language that can be understood only by people with a particular cultural background?
If technology allows us to produce images, texts, stories, and other content in new ways, we should also use its possibilities to make our ideas accessible to more people.
Creating with new tools while communicating as though we were addressing only a small circle of experts can become a contradiction.
Not because culture should abandon complexity, but because complexity should not become an unnecessary barrier.
Writing simply does not mean thinking superficially. Explaining a difficult concept in understandable words often takes more work than using specialist language.
A text can be profound without being obscure. An idea can be important without being hidden behind difficult words. A work can make people think without necessarily requiring an academic background to engage with it.
Of course, some subjects require technical terms and specialized knowledge. Some works intentionally seek a particular audience. Not everything needs to be simplified, and not everything has to appeal to everyone.
But when the goal is to share an idea, defend creative freedom, or open a cultural discussion, we should ask ourselves whether our language genuinely helps people understand—or ends up keeping them at a distance.
The question is simple: do we merely want to talk about creativity, or do we want to enable more people to take part in the discussion?
Simple Does Not Mean Trivial
Accessible language is not the enemy of culture. It can be one of its most effective tools.
If we believe creativity should be open to everyone, we should also look for ways to discuss it that do not exclude people who lack specialized knowledge.
A person should not have to know art history, literary theory, or the technical workings of generative models to understand the basic principle: a new tool can help us express ideas that we previously could not turn into something tangible.
We can discuss copyright, originality, artistic training, and responsibility rigorously without forgetting that our readers may not already know these subjects.
Explaining means building a bridge between what we know and what another person can understand. It does not mean impoverishing thought; it means making thought shareable.
If an idea has value, it is worth making the effort to communicate it as clearly as possible.
I Do Not Want a Small Circle to Decide Who Gets to Create
Cultural institutions, professional associations, academies, and experts can contribute to the debate about artificial intelligence. They can raise important questions, discuss authors’ rights, and reflect on the consequences of new technologies.
But the ability to express oneself creatively should not depend on belonging to a particular group, holding a specific qualification, or receiving someone else’s approval.
A person can write without being a professional writer. They can create images without being a formally trained painter. They can tell a story without having attended a writing school.
And they can use artificial intelligence to explore possibilities they might not have been able to reach with traditional tools.
This does not mean that all works have the same value. It means that the value of a work and a person’s right to try to create it are two different questions.
We can criticize a result without denying its creator the right to experiment. We can recognize the greatness of traditional techniques without turning them into the only legitimate path to expression.
Creativity should not be a closed territory with an entrance reserved for those who possess the right credentials.
A Pseudonym, an Image, and a Real Person
In my work, I have chosen to use a pseudonym and an image to present myself to the public.
This choice allows me to share what I create without necessarily exposing my personal identity. Behind the name I use and the image that represents me, there is a real person, with their own story, ideas, and reasons.
I do not believe that communicating something meaningful always requires showing one’s face or making one’s private life public.
A work can be encountered, read, and evaluated for what it communicates, even when its creator prefers to maintain some distance between their personal identity and public presence.
In the same way, using artificial intelligence in my work does not mean giving up my individuality. It means choosing a tool that allows me to explore forms of expression and creative possibilities.
I do not ask everyone to share my choices. I ask that they be understood for what they are: legitimate choices that deserve to be considered without prejudice.
We do not need to know every detail of a creator’s life to engage with their ideas. Nor must everyone use the same tools in order to recognize each person’s right to experiment.
Why I Want to Speak to Everyone
I do not want these reflections to remain confined to a circle of people who already know the subject, share certain ideas, or have the cultural background needed to engage with a specialist discussion.
I would like them to be understood by people approaching artificial intelligence for the first time, by those who are curious about it, those who fear it, those who criticize it, and those who have not yet decided what to think.
Because the future of creativity concerns more than professional artists, technology experts, or people working in the cultural industries.
It also concerns those who have had an idea but, until now, did not know how to bring it to life.
It concerns people who have a story to tell but struggle to write it; people who imagine images they cannot draw; people who would like to experiment with music, video, or visual communication but lack the necessary skills or resources.
And it concerns anyone who simply wants to try something new.
If artificial intelligence can help expand these possibilities, we should discuss it in language that allows more people to take part.
Not to persuade everyone to think alike, but to give everyone the opportunity to understand, form an opinion, and make informed choices.
Creativity Grows When It Is Shared
I am not claiming that artificial intelligence solves every problem in artistic production. I am not claiming that it replaces study, experience, or the value of traditional skills. And I do not believe that every result produced with these tools is necessarily interesting or worthy of attention.
I am making a simpler point: we should not judge a creation in advance solely on the basis of the tool used to make it.
We should look at what it communicates, consider how it was made, recognize any human contributions, and leave room for discussion.
We should also remember that creativity does not belong only to those who have had the opportunity to study it, but also to those who are searching for a way to express themselves using the tools available to them.
That is why I believe that using artificial intelligence to create and then deliberately choosing language inaccessible to much of the public is, when the goal is to share ideas, a missed opportunity.
If we want to expand the possibilities for creating, we should also expand the possibilities for understanding.
If we want more people to tell their stories, we must also make it possible for those stories to reach people who are willing to listen.
We do not need to simplify everything. We need to make what can be made accessible accessible, without giving up depth, quality, or freedom of thought.
Because behind every image, every story, and every project, there may be a person searching for a way to communicate something about themselves.
And that person deserves at least the chance to be heard.
Creativity grows when more people can take part. Ideas gain new possibilities when they reach people who have not yet encountered them. And no technology can truly fulfill its potential if the opportunities it offers remain accessible to only a few.
