AI and ‘Avyakt'
Every age and civilisation has redefined Creativity, but today, this Creativity is being subjected to unprecedented scrutiny and viewed through a different prism, that of AI. From celebration to caution and everything in between, it is discussed, debated, and dissected daily.
Let's explore this.
Is AI Truly Artificial? When we emphasise on 'Artificial Intelligence', are we being condescending or judgmental here? After all, it's rooted in human-produced data, our words, our images, our histories, our decisions, distilled into material. It feels transformative because it recombines the familiar with unprecedented speed and some polish.
Next, let's distinguish between 'intelligent and Intelligence'.
An intelligent person applies knowledge, reasoning, and experience to address specific situations within a defined context. Intelligence, however, is understood not merely as an individual faculty but as an expression of a deeper, infinite universal principle – the cosmic Intelligence.
What sets human Creativity apart is our ability to make irrational leaps – the instinctive break of pattern. This is something AI will find hard to replicate. Philip Larkin, the poet and librarian, once observed that our best manuscripts are blank notebooks, because they contain infinite potential. AI can fill pages in seconds. Humans, by contrast, stare at blankness for hours, days, and at one point in time, leap. That leap – illogical, instinctive, disobedient – is where Creativity thrives.
Ask AI for a poem about life's journey, and the likely output would be: 'The path is the destination; enjoy the journey.' Predictable and could be sharpened with a better prompt.
Instead, i, as a poetic mind, would write: 'Raaste chahte hain main safar par niklu, par jab manzil mujh mein hi rehte ho to kaisa safar? Mujhe theher kar sunna hai apna aasman.' – Paths call me to travel, but when the destination is within me, where is the journey? I want to stand still and listen to my own sky.
This is not syntax, or word soup – it is a voice shaped by my lived experience, my cultural context, and born of my seeking. AI can refine what is known, but it cannot reach into the 'avyakt' – the unexpressed. That which is yet unsaid – the instinct to wander where there are no paths, to hear what has not been heard.
The most beautiful song has yet to be written, the most luminous smile still to be smiled, the highest flight still to be taken. Like i wrote, 'Main kabhi batlata nahi andhere se darta hoon maa, …main kabhi jatlata nahi teri parwah karta hoon maa', it resonated as it touched on what was felt but not expressed in this manner.
Creativity is not a tidy arrangement; it is rupture – the break of pattern, defying the odds. AI cannot rupture itself. It is bound by what it has been fed. Humans, uniquely, can disobey even their own logic. That disobedience – the ability to surprise not only the world but ourselves – is the heartbeat of imagination.
AI sharpens rather than diminishes human Creativity. As machines master the obvious and tidy the familiar, they leave us free to explore what lies beyond pattern: the ambiguous, the unformed, the unspoken.
Here lies our task – to dwell in that space, to hear what has not been heard, to imagine what has no precedent. AI mirrors Intelligence as a vast collective, but imagination remains singular. Its role is to enlarge the canvas; ours is to paint.
True Creativity will live wherever data ends and daring begins.

Coolie Composer Anirudh Ravichander Shares ChatGPT Helped Him Overcome Creative Block
New Delhi: Anirudh Ravichander, who rose to fame with Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, admitted in a recent interview that he took help of AI to overcome creative block. When the film industry, across languages and regions, is divided over the use of AI, Anirudh's confession seems to initiate a new conversation. What's Happening Anirudh has composed the music for Rajinikanth's Coolie, slated for a release on August 14. During a promotional interview with Sun Pictures, Anirudh said, "Two days ago, when I had a creative block, I just opened ChatGPT and fed it the information about my song. I asked the AI, 'This is the song. I am stuck while trying to compose the last two lines. What do I do, man?' I swear, I am being honest." Anirudh even shared that he subscribed to the premium version of AI to ensure uninterrupted and high-quality assistance. "With the prompt, the AI gave me ten lines. From there, I saw one line, an idea emerged, and I cracked the rest of the song. "All creators face a block, but today, it is easier to get over such a block. I feel it is better to let it be rather than overthink about being stuck," he said. Anirudh also discussed how he composed the music for Coolie. Discussing the track Chikitu Vibe, he revealed that he started with a tuned version of T. Rajendhar Sir's beats. But when he came to know that Soubin Shahir would dance for Monica alongside Pooja Hegde, he included comedy tracks like Lakalakalaka from Chandramukhi's Raa Raa. About Coolie In March last year, Lokesh Kanagaraj unveiled the first-look poster of Coolie. The poster features a monochromatic image of Rajinikanth sporting a denim shirt. He is bound by a chain of wristwatches, which stand out in colour amidst the grayscale, with a conspicuous clock in the background. Sharing the poster on X (formerly known as Twitter), Lokesh Kanagaraj announced that the film's title will be unveiled on April 22. He wrote, "#Thalaivar171TitleReveal on April 22." The tentative title was Thalaivar 171, marking Rajinikanth's 171 film. The film's new title was later released in April 2024. The film will clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 at the box office. In A Nutshell Composer Anirudh said he took help of AI to overcome creative block. He has composed the music of Rajinikanth's Coolie.
