We think using fundamental building blocks of mental called primitives of thought. New tools and scientific techniques provide new primitives of thought. Similarly, AI technologies will provide humans with new primitives of thoughts, and new creative operations. AI will also afford new creative operations. For example, generative models allow us to perform interpolations between two ideas in a latent space, or sampling from a latent space. **My Thoughts** According to Malafouris, [[Things extend the mind, tools are mental prostheses]], because they afford new modes of thinking, which is very similar to what Carter and Nielsen propose. This is also related to [[Boden's three types of creativity]], since she argues that conceptual spaces are made up of ideas, or modes of thinking. Taking the view of Carter and Nielsen and combining with Boden’s ideas, [[AI enables transformational creativity]]. **From** [[Using Artificial Intelligence to Augment Human Intelligence (Carter & Nielsen, 2017)]]
