Ideational Convergence

A phenomenon where the use of generative AI tools leads to a narrowing of creative diversity, as multiple users producing content with the same AI system tend to converge on similar outputs. In audio description, ideational convergence risks flattening the variety of descriptive styles and artistic choices that different human describers bring to their work. This concern highlights the importance of designing AI-assisted tools that preserve and encourage diverse creative expression rather than homogenizing output.
