" A new large-scale study led by Professor Karim Jerbi from the Department of Psychology at the Université de Montréal set out to answer that question. "The research team also included Yoshua Bengio, a leading AI pioneer and professor at the Université de Montréal. "Together, they conducted the most extensive comparison to date between human creativity and the creative abilities of large language models. "The findings , published in Scientific Reports , point to a major shift. "Generative AI systems have now reached a level where they can outperform the average human on certain creativity measures . "At the same time, the study makes it clear that the most creative people still exceed the performance of even the strongest AI models."
