Summary: Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically GPT-4, was found to match the top 1% of human thinkers on a standard creativity test. The AI application ChatGPT, developed using GPT-4, excelled in fluency and originality in the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, a widely recognized tool for assessing creativity.

This breakthrough finding indicates that AI may be developing creative ability on par with or even surpassing human capabilities. Dr. Erik Guzik, the lead researcher, anticipates that AI, with its rapidly evolving advancements, will become a key tool for business innovation and entrepreneurship.

Key Facts:

  1. The study showed that ChatGPT performed in the top 1% for originality, a new achievement for AI.
  2. AI outperformed the majority of college students in the national creativity test.
  3. Despite ChatGPT’s success, it suggested the need for more sophisticated tools to differentiate between human and AI-generated ideas.

The value of creativity comes from the creator's perspective and context. I would never read a book written by an AI. It has nothing to say or contribute, just regurgitating phrases spat out by an algorithm given false meaning

That’s not how it works. It doesn’t just copy and paste.

It doesn’t copy paste. These larger models seem to have a context capable of quoting, but it still doesn’t copy paste.

It essentially reads incoming data and builds a huge multidimensional map over the words and the relationships between them. Then when given an input it traverses this map to figure out the most likely destination.

Depending on how you tune it the outcome will differ from one occasion to the next.

It’s a gross oversimplification but a closer approximation than “copy paste.”
