Does AI Scuttle or Enhance Creativity

This was a topic of debate in my class yesterday. I was reporting the proceedings and thus didn't have a chance to speak. However, I am very opinionated about the topic at hand and wanted to talk about my stance. 

As you probably guessed, I think AI scuttles creativity. As a creative writer, I believe that creativity and imagination are synonymous with human life. If you ask AI for ideas, they are no longer yours. If you ask AI to brainstorm for you, it's not you who is doing the work. Thus, you can't take credit for the idea. 

AI is a tool. Yes. A tool to assist, not to do your work for you. For example, if you have an outline of a story, AI could be used to check if you forgot something. However, it should not be telling you to add more. If it does, and you choose to use those ideas, you can't take credit for them. 

AI can be used to proofread and to tell you if there are any plot holes or gaps or tangents in your story. I use AI for such purposes. I give it a completed work and ask it to check if there are any characters I invented and then forgot about. I find that this is okay, because it is time-efficient, as opposed to asking someone else to read my work and check for such things for me. (Of course, I do have a human proofreader as well.)

Asking AI to write your work for you or ask it for ideas means that you don't possess the capability to think and imagine for yourself. Frankly, if that's the case, I don't think you should be writing in the first place. This might be a harsh conclusion to come to, but the process of thinking and making mistakes and correcting yourself is crucial to writing. It's what makes you a good writer and gives you the right to call yourself a writer.
