This presentation reconsiders creativity in view of the development of generative AI. Creativity can be broadly categorized into two types: allopoiesis and autopoiesis. In allopoiesis, the creative subject and object are distinct, whereas in autopsies, the creative subject and object are identical. However, this identification is not self-sameness but ever process of becoming itself. While AI ethics concerning creativity often focus on allopoiesis, they are fundamentally rooted in issues related to autopoiesis. Since autopoiesis concerns not the creation of products but the ongoing becoming of the self, the essence of autopoietic creativity lies in the time spent engaging in creative activities that foster self-transformation. Although technical automation and streamlining of production processes may shorten this time, from the perspective of autopoiesis, what is critical are technics that enable the generation of such time. This is not merely about reducing working hours to increase leisure but about the genesis of time itself: the life of time where time emerges through processes of creation. This resonates with concepts such as the embodied mind and enactivism, for addressing this question unites creation and knowledge. This presentation, therefore, raises the issue of creating time for fulfillment within the context of artificial intelligence and creativity.
