ChatGPT-4 Shows Superior Creative Potential to Humans in Limited Testing
-
ChatGPT-4 outperformed 151 human participants in tests of divergent thinking, a measure of creative potential, generating more original and elaborate responses.
-
The study highlights AI's superior creative potential but notes its lack of agency and dependence on human prompting to activate its creativity.
-
While not a perfect proxy for human creativity, the findings suggest AI could serve as an inspirational creativity aid or help overcome fixedness.
-
The appropriateness of AI responses was not evaluated, and human motivation to provide elaborate answers may have been low.
-
Questions remain about measuring creativity and whether current tests capture the full spectrum of human creative thinking and potential.
