Artificial intelligence bots such as ChatGPT might be better than people at some creative tasks, according to new research.<\/p>\n

Researchers looked at the robots' ability to perform a cognitive skill known as divergent thinking, which we use to come up with ideas by exploring many possible solutions \u2013 and found, in general, chatbots were better than humans.<\/p>\n

Simone Grassini, associate professor in the department of psychosocial science at the University of Bergen and Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience Lab at the University of Stavanger said: "Indeed, this is a remarkable type of ability that AI chatbots display.<\/p>\n

"The findings show that AI is better than most humans in creative thinking."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scientists used an exercise known as alternate uses tasks to assess the divergent thinking capabilities of both people and chatbots.<\/p>\n

The task involves a person \u2013 or bot \u2013 coming up with as many uses as possible for a common object.<\/p>\n

Boffins performing the study found chatbots, on average, outperformed their human counterparts.<\/p>\n

But Professor Grassini was quick to explain that this doesn't spell the end for human ingenuity \u2013 the best human ideas were still as good as or better than the best AI-generated ones.<\/p>\n
