Although we routinely hear of “generative AI”, it’s more like “regurgitative AI”, more like a digital cow with many stomachs, all of them digesting training data that is based on human experience. When a student uses AI to write an essay, when a writer uses AI to produce a story, they are engaging in a regurgitative act. It is not generative in the true sense, because AI has no physical eyes, ears, and sense receptors that see, hear, and perceive actual objects and energies in the world, nor any conscious spirit that subjectively apprehends these things.
