AP English Language Practice Set 8 (FRQ #3)

In the context of today’s rapid technological evolution, we cannot help but ask ourselves if artificial intelligence (AI) can truly rival human creativity. AI excels at processing extensive data, generating sophisticated and intricate outcomes. However, it can be argued that human creativity stems from a flux of emotions and unique experiences that can never be fully replicated by a machine. Technology enthusiasts like Mark Gazit, the CEO of ThetaRay, suggests the possibility of inventing machines that can match complex constructs of human thought, memory, and emotions. On the other hand, scientists like William Dally posit that artificial intelligence can never supersede human agency and collective intelligence. Thus, the pivotal question arises, “Can AI supplant human creativity, or will humans continue to beget and spearhead innovation and original thought?”

Write an essay that argues your position on whether or not AI can match or replace human creative genius and originality.

In your response you should do the following:

• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible position.
• Provide evidence to support your line of reasoning.
• Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.
• Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.
