Abstract

A fundamental premise of the future of work is that AI will replace people in many cognitive and physical tasks, leaving creativity as a core, human 21st century skill. However, the recent launch of generative AI (especially ChatGPT) has seen many claims that AI is creative. If true, then the foundation of future human work, and education, is under threat. To examine claims of AI creativity, this research applied a test of verbal divergent thinking – the Divergent Association Task – to two versions of ChatGPT (GPT3.5 and GPT4). The results are reported and compared to a large human baseline. While both forms of ChatGPT show a capacity for verbal divergent production that exceeds human means, a range of factors call into question the “creativity” of generative AI. LIFT Learning: Could AI replicate your creativity? Engage with Professor David Cropley as he discusses the rise of ChatGPT and its ability to “think” creatively at this article’s companion LIFT Learning site. Professor Cropley explains the process of divergent thinking as a measure of creativity and outlines why your creative role is probably still safe for now.

人工智能比人类更有创造力吗?

未来工作的一个基本前提是，人工智能将在许多认知和体力工作中取代人类，使创造力成为21世纪人类的核心技能。然而，最近推出的生成式人工智能(尤其是ChatGPT)已经看到许多人声称人工智能是创造性的。如果这是真的，那么未来人类工作和教育的基础将受到威胁。为了检验人工智能创造力的说法，这项研究对两个版本的ChatGPT (GPT3.5和GPT4)进行了语言发散性思维测试——发散性联想任务。报告结果，并将其与较大的人类基线进行比较。虽然这两种形式的聊天都显示出超出人类能力的语言发散性生产能力，但一系列因素让人质疑生成式人工智能的“创造力”。LIFT Learning:人工智能能复制你的创造力吗?在本文的配套LIFT学习网站上，与David Cropley教授一起讨论ChatGPT的兴起及其创造性“思考”的能力。克罗普利教授将发散性思维的过程解释为创造力的一种衡量标准，并概述了为什么你的创造性角色目前可能仍然是安全的。LIFT学习网站可访问https://lift.c3l.ai/courses/course-v1:LEARNINGLETTERS+0113+2023
