Creativity is a quality which manifests itself in many different ways, and this is one of the reasons it has proved so difficult to define. As Amabile (1996) points out, ‘a clear and sufficiently detailed articulation of the creative process is not yet possible.’ Yet we readily recognise creativity when we meet it, even if we cannot define it precisely. For all practical purposes this is enough, and we do not need to spend too much time agonising over a definition.
There are of course some features which are almost always present in a creative act. The core idea of ‘making something new’ is at the heart of creativity. But novelty is not alone sufficient for something to be recognised as creative. We could, for example, wear a clown’s red nose to class. This would certainly be doing something new and unusual but it would only count as creative if we then did something with it, like creating a new persona. It is also necessary for creative acts to be recognised and accepted within the domain in which they occur. They need to be relevant and practicable – not just novel. Sometimes creative ideas are ahead of their time and have to wait for technology to catch up. Leonardo da Vinci designed an aeroplane in the 15th century, but before aeroplanes could become a reality, materials and fuels had to be available.

[…] Boden (1990) takes an AI (artificial intelligence) approach to investigating creativity. She asks what a computer would need to do to replicate human thought processes. This leads to a consideration of the self-organising properties of complex, generative systems through processes such as parallel distributed processing. For her, creativity arises from the systematic exploration of a conceptual space or domain (mathematical, musical or linguistic). She draws attention to the importance of constraints in this process. ‘Far from being the antithesis of creativity, constraints on thinking are what make it possible’ (p. 82). Chaos theory (Gleick, 1987) tends to support her ideas. Boden’s approach is richly suggestive for language acquisition, materials writing and for teaching, in that all are rooted in complex, self-organising systems.

Based on Boden’s AI approach, how could an EFL teacher creatively use a generative AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT)?
- By instructing the AI to produce a limitless stream of novel, context-free sentences to maximize the exposure to new, unusual language input.
- By allowing students to explore the entire linguistic conceptual space without any pre-defined limitations on vocabulary and structure.
- By directing the AI to generate dialogues constrained by a specific grammar rule and topic, requiring students to systematically edit the output for fluency.
- By using the AI primarily to replicate human thought processes, modeling the exact sequence of steps a native speaker uses to produce new text.
- By assigning the AI the task of independently designing a new language acquisition curriculum, replacing the teacher’s need for materials writing.

Comentário do professor
Seguindo a abordagem de Boden, permitir que alunos explorem todo o espaço conceitual linguístico sem limitações pré‑definidas significa usar uma IA generativa (por exemplo ChatGPT) como fonte de combinações léxicas, estruturas e gêneros; a máquina oferece amostras desse espaço e assim possibilita a exploração sistemática de alternativas inesperadas.
Na prática o docente propõe tarefas que gerem variações: pedir múltiplas paráfrases, reescritas em registros diferentes, criação de personas ou textos com estruturas não convencionais; os alunos testam, comparam e refinam as saídas em ciclos de iteração e reflexão metalinguística.
Esse uso amplia a fluência criativa, incentiva experimentação e descoberta de padrões, desenvolvendo autonomia e habilidade de formular hipóteses sobre uso linguístico, enquanto o professor orienta e seleciona aplicações pedagógicas relevantes.
