However, it remains unclear if LLMs have become more creative over time and how consistent their creative output is. In this study, we evaluated 14 widely used LLMs—including GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Grok, Mistral, and DeepSeek—across two validated creativity assessments: the Divergent Association Task (DAT) and the Alternative Uses Task (AUT). We found no evidence of increased creative performance over the past 18–24 months, with GPT-4 performing worse than in previous studies. For the more widely used AUT, all models performed on average better than the average human, with GPT-4o and o3-mini performing best. However, only 0.28 % of LLM-generated responses reached the top 10 % of human creativity benchmarks. Beyond inter-model differences, we document substantial intra-model variability: the same LLM, given the same prompt, can produce outputs ranging from below-average to original. This variability has important implications for both creativity research and practical applications. Ignoring such variability risks misjudging the creative potential of LLMs, either inflating or underestimating their capabilities. The choice of prompts affected LLMs differently. Our findings underscore the need for more nuanced evaluation frameworks and highlight the importance of model selection, prompt design, and repeated assessment when using Generative AI (GenAI) tools in creative contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 3","pages":"Article 100113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145528514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a need for evaluations that assess the potential of this technological resource in the learning process. This non-experimental, correlational study aimed to propose an evaluation model to deepen the understanding of the impact of robotics on students' creative productions. The sample consisted of 46 Brazilian teams, divided between Middle School and High School. Specifically, the study sought to analyze creativity using secondary data from evaluations conducted by judges after a robotics competition. The evaluations were used to categorize the items into dependent and independent variables, defined according to the 7 Cs theoretical model. The main variables analyzed were Creators, Collaborations, Creating, and Creations. A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the variables Creators and Creating had a significantly positive influence (<em>p</em><.005) on creative performance (Creations). Additionally, an interaction analysis indicated that the impact of Creating on Creations varied depending on the levels of Creators. Specifically, at lower levels of Creators, an increase in Creating is associated with a more pronounced growth in Creations. Conversely, at higher levels of Creators, the influence of Creating became more moderate. Additional analyses of the Scientific Merit (SM) and Technology and Engineering (TE) subcategories demonstrated that both positively influenced Creations, with TE showing a slightly stronger correlation. These results suggested that the characteristics of the creators (Creators) and the creation process (Creating) were fundamental to creative performance (Creations) in this competition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 2","pages":"Article 100102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144750439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I present a novel concept of Paradoxical Strengths Regulation (PSR), which proposes that combining seemingly contradictory strengths can enhance creativity. PSR utilizes the paradoxical personality traits of <em>Openness to Experience (Openness)</em> and <em>Conscientiousness</em>, examining their relationship to creativity, particularly <em>Employee Self-rated Creativity (ESC)</em>, through a paradox mindset. A sample of 189 US-based working adult participants was used in a cross-sectional survey design, employing various statistical analyses to test hypotheses related to the PSR framework. The findings supported the hypothesis that a paradox mindset mediates the relationship between <em>Openness</em> and <em>ESC.</em> Moreover, the investigation revealed that, on its own, <em>Openness</em> strongly correlated with <em>ESC</em>, but this was not the case for <em>Conscientiousness</em>. Furthermore, the traits showed no significant relationship, indicating that they do not necessarily need to be combined to enhance creativity. Instead, leveraging one's <em>Openness</em> trait and adopting a paradox mindset appears more beneficial. However, the efficacy of the PSR framework could not conclusively be determined at this stage, suggesting that future research could explore facet (sub-trait)-level analysis for further understanding. The research’s implications, applications, strengths, and limitations are also discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 2","pages":"Article 100101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All human innovations also involve “untagging” preconceived meanings and actions so as to “retag” them in novel and effective ways that change how we feel, understand and act. No AI can untag or retag data, let alone act.
