Research by neuroscientists has discovered that, like the algorithms driving the Generative Adversarial Networks at Google Brain, our own brains have two competing systems at play. One is an exhibitionist urge to make things. To create. To express. The other system is an inhibitor, the critical alter ego that casts doubt on our ideas, that questions and criticises them. We need a very careful balance of both in order to venture into the new. A creative thought needs to be balanced with a feedback loop which evaluates the thought so that it can be refined and generated again.
