Creativity is explored through interviews with a researcher and a conversation with ChatGPT. The researcher defines creativity as thinking outside the box to solve problems in different ways, while seeking the shortest methods. ChatGPT defines creativity as the ability to transcend norms and constraints to create something original through cognitive and imaginative skills. By capturing creativity through these perspectives, the author challenges their own view of creativity as striving to achieve maximum results with minimum effort through varied perspectives and resilience.

Part 1: Perspectives on Creativity Yurika Shibamoto (CEP818/FS2023)
My original definition of creativity:
To bring new perspectives and keep trial & error to create new values
Disliking repetition makes me creative!
Interviewee I interviewed my collegue, a female researcher in her early 30's. She is a Malaysian, born and raised in Malaysia, and obtained her doctoral degree in Tourism Management in United Kingdom. According to her, creativity means thinking outside the box and being able to solve one problem in many different methods. She identifies herself lazy and often is looking for ways to achieve the goal in the shortest way possible. She also added the importance of having extra time to reflect. After our conversastion, we drew a conclusion saying that the origin of creativity as a driving force for action is a questioning: -How can I make my teaching more interesting? -How can I teach/research using different tools? -How can I clean my room with less effort? and many more.
Creativity can emerge under a wide
range of circumstances! ChatGPT ChatGPT, after prefacing the statement that it is a complex and multifaceted concept which can be defined in various ways, defined "creativity is the cognitive and imaginative ability to transcend established patterns, norms, or constraints in order to produce something original, innovative, or unique" (OpenAI, 2023). The specific examples given in the responses illustrate the magnitude of the concept of creativity, which includes common keywords to my thoughts such as risk-taking, resilience, unconventional thinking, divergent thinking, etc. On the other hand, I was surprised by the persistence mentioned as a characteristic of a creative person and am highly convinced that a strong work ethic and perseverance are necessary elements for creativity.
In capturing creativity through the lens of the
interviewee and generative AI, I was challenged to observe what underlies my creativity. That is, to try to get maximum results with minimum effort and to seek inherently good results in any activity. With this understanding, I would renew the definition as follows. Creativity is the ability to create new value that transcends constraints by persistently challenging and being resilient, driven by passion, from a variety of perspectives.
