Abstract

The work in this paper investigates (a) the (emerging) creative self-perceptions of GenAI chatbots, (b) their creative potential, (c) their ability to self-assess the creativity of their own outcomes and that of their peers, and (d) how their creative outcomes can be improved. To this end, an exploratory study was implemented involving three popular commercial chatbots: ChatGPT (GPT-4o - paid) by OpenAI, Claude (3.5 Sonnet - paid) by Anthropic and Gemini (1.5 Flash - free) by Google. The study included four phases and employed well-established methods and tools from the scientific domain of (human) creativity research, including the Short Scale of Creative Self (SSCS) questionnaire, a verbal test of convergent-integrative thought from the Evaluation of Potential Creativity (EPoC) battery which was scored by the chatbots and human experts, and the Dynamic Assessment (DA) approach and humor as means for enhancing the chatbots’ creative outcomes. The results of the study are encapsulated in 21 original and, sometimes, surprising observations and in 6 practical insights regarding the use of GenAI chatbots as creativity-support tools.

透过钥匙孔窥视创造力：GenAI聊天机器人的创造性自我认知、潜力和增强

本文中的工作调查了(a) GenAI聊天机器人（新兴的）创造性自我感知，(b)他们的创造潜力，(c)他们自我评估自己的成果和同伴的创造力的能力，以及(d)如何改进他们的创造性成果。为此，一项探索性研究涉及三种流行的商业聊天机器人：OpenAI的ChatGPT （gpt - 40 -付费），Anthropic的Claude（3.5十四行诗付费）和谷歌的Gemini （1.5 Flash免费）。该研究分为四个阶段，采用了人类创造力研究科学领域的成熟方法和工具，包括创造性自我短量表（SSCS）问卷、由聊天机器人和人类专家打分的潜在创造力评估（EPoC）电池中的聚合-整合思维口头测试，以及动态评估（DA）方法和幽默作为提高聊天机器人创造性成果的手段。这项研究的结果包含了21个原始的，有时是令人惊讶的观察结果，以及6个关于使用GenAI聊天机器人作为创造力支持工具的实际见解。
