AI Art Generators Spur Artist Productivity But Could Limit Novelty Over Time, Study Suggests
- Study examined impact of AI art generators on human creativity by analyzing art made with & without AI on an art sharing platform
- Artists adopting AI showed increased productivity and more favorable responses, but decreasing average novelty over time
- Peak content novelty among AI adopters is increasing, suggesting an expanding creative space
- Artists are evaluated more favorably if they explore new concepts with AI, but penalized for novel visual styles
- Results hint at complementarity between human ideation and AI visual exploitation to discover new creative workflows (“generative synesthesia”)
