Cognitive scientists find AI generates ideas faster, but human teams stay more creative
CurieuxExplorer · x · 2026-11-11
Cognitive scientists ran an experiment on how AI affects collaboration and creativity. LLMs easily beat humans on idea volume and speed—one reason over half of new online articles are now AI-generated—but their outputs tend to be verbose and redundant, with quality gaps found when testing 12 chatbots on thousands of factual questions. On originality in divergent-thinking tasks, teams of humans still outperform AI-assisted work: speed and volume don't equal genuine creativity.
