A recent study has revealed that AI language models, specifically OpenAI‘s GPT-4, are outperforming humans in tasks that require divergent thinking – which involves the generation of unique solutions to open-ended questions, a key facet of creativity.

The study, conducted by Kent F. Hubert and Kim N. Awa, Ph.D. students at the University of Arkansas, and Darya L. Zabelina, an assistant professor at the same institution, involved 151 human participants. They were tested against the AI model on the Alternative Uses Task, Consequences Task, and Divergent Associations Task. And in bad news for the humans, the AI model demonstrated greater originality and detail in its responses, thus indicating higher creative potential.
