Humans still beat AI at one key creative task, new study finds
PsyPost - Psychology News
Is AI the best brainstorming partner? Not quite, according to new research. Human pairs came up with more original ideas and felt more creatively confident than those working with ChatGPT or Google in a series of collaborative thinking tasks.
In a new experiment comparing different types of collaboration, researchers found that pairs of humans working together produced more original ideas than individuals collaborating with artificial intelligence or using internet search tools. The findings suggest that human interaction still holds a creative edgeâespecially when it comes to generating novel ideasâdespite the growing capabilities of generative AI like ChatGPT.|Generative artificial intelligence has made headlines for its apparent creative capabilities, from composing music to brainstorming business ideas. These systems, such as ChatGPT, can generate content based on patterns in massive datasets. As they become increasingly integrated into everyday tasks, many researchers have begun to ask whether AI can actually enhance human creativityâor even surpass it.
To investigate this question, a team of researchers led by Min Tang at the University Institute of Schaffhausen compared creative performance across several types of collaboration. Their goal was to determine how working with AI stacks up against other sources of external inputâlike working with another human or using the internet for inspiration. The study was published in The Journal of Creative Behavior.
The researchers recruited 202 university students in Germany, mostly studying business-related fields, and assigned them to one of four conditions: humanâhuman dyads, humanâinternet (using Google), or humanâChatGPT collaborations, with two types of instructions for the AI group. Each participant or pair completed four creative tasks, including two alternate uses tests (e.g., finding unusual uses for pants or a fork), a consequences task (e.g., imagining a world without food), and a creative problem-solving activity.
Before and after the tasks, participants answered surveys about their creative confidence and perceptions of the collaboration. The researchers also evaluated participantsâ creative output using both trained human judges and an automated scoring system based on a large language model.
When it came to generating divergent ideasâthe kinds of ideas that branch out and explore many possibilitiesâhumanâhuman pairs consistently performed best. Across all three divergent thinking tasks, their responses were rated as more original and clever by human judges than those produced by participants who used ChatGPT or Google.
The most striking difference came in the âforkâ task, where human pairs significantly outshone the other groups. The researchers found no meaningful difference in performance between those who collaborated with ChatGPT and those who used internet search tools.
Interestingly, the humanâhuman pairs were also the only group to show an increase in creative confidence after completing the tasks. Participants in these pairs reported feeling more capable and creative at the end of the session, suggesting that working with another person not only inspired better ideas, but also helped people feel better about their own creativity. Those who worked with ChatGPT or Google did not experience a similar boost.
The study also highlighted differences in how participants perceived their collaborators. Those in the humanâhuman condition saw their partners as equally contributing to the task. But people who used Google tended to view themselves as the main driver of the ideas, while those who used ChatGPT saw the AI as doing most of the creative heavy lifting. While ChatGPT was seen as more helpful than Google, participants often attributed the success of the collaboration to the AI rather than to their own input.
One of the more surprising findings came from the automated scoring system, which rated the ChatGPT-assisted ideas as more creative than those from humanâhuman teams. This result was the opposite of what human judges concluded. After further analysis, the researchers discovered that the AI scoring system was heavily influenced by the length of the responses.
Since ChatGPT-generated responses tended to be longer and more elaborate, the automated system may have mistaken verbosity for creativity. Once the researchers accounted for this factor, the advantage for ChatGPT disappeared.
This discrepancy between human and AI evaluations points to what the researchers call âelaboration biasââa tendency for automated scoring systems to overvalue longer, more detailed responses, even if they are not especially novel. The findings raise questions about whether current AI tools can reliably assess creativity, especially in languages or contexts they were not extensively trained on.
The researchers caution that their study only looked at a specific kind of creativityâdivergent thinkingâwhere originality and unusualness are key. They did not find any significant differences between the groups on the problem-solving task, which involved selecting the most serious consequence from the earlier task and coming up with a creative but useful solution. Itâs possible that AI tools may still be helpful in tasks that require refining or converging on an idea, rather than generating a wide range of new ones.
There are also limitations in how much the study can tell us about real-world creative collaborations. Participants used ChatGPT and Google in a lab setting, with constraints on how they could interact with the tools. The researchers did not analyze the actual back-and-forth between people and AI, which could reveal more about how ideas are accepted, rejected, or transformed during the creative process. In future studies, recording these interactions might help explain why AI partnerships seem less effective at boosting creativityâand why people sometimes feel less ownership over ideas generated with the help of a machine.
While generative AI may still play a role in helping people think outside the box, the new study suggests it hasnât replaced the unique spark that can come from two people bouncing ideas off each other. Collaboration between humans continues to generate not only more original ideas, but also more confidence in oneâs own creative abilities. As the researchers put it, "creativity is a unique human endowment that is not easily replicated by AI."
The study, "'Who' Is the Best Creative Thinking Partner? An Experimental Investigation of HumanâHuman, HumanâInternet, and HumanâAI Co-Creation," was authored by Min Tang, Sebastian Hofreiter, Christian H. Werner, Aleksandra ZieliĹska, and Maciej Karwowski.

| Search engine censorship: Why Trump needs to take the fight against political bias online
Jul 28, 2025
**Watch out, Google: Trump should move online in his fight against left-wing bias **
The Hill
If the Trump administration truly aims to uphold ideological neutrality and preserve intellectual freedom, cutting off funding to biased government institutions is just the first step. The greater âŚ
Opinions on President Trumpâs budget cuts to institutions like the Department of Education, NPR and PBS tend to differ along partisan lines. But the intent behind these actions is clear: to dismantle longstanding ideological bias within publicly funded educational and media institutions. However, if the administration's objective is genuinely to root out institutional bias, its scope must extend beyond traditional media. Trump must also confront the digital giants â most notably, Google, whose influence over public discourse dwarfs that of any single news outlet or federal program. Google receives substantial financial benefit from federal contracts and partnerships. It has also repeatedly faced scrutiny for partisan behavior and the suppression of conservative voices. While some argue that it is the only realistic option for search, there are alternatives that offer a more balanced experience and directly address concerns about partisan filtering. In 2019, former Google engineer Zach Vorhies leaked more than 950 internal documents exposing ideological manipulation within the company. These documents, shared with the U.S. Department of Justice, revealed a troubling ecosystem of âblacklists,â manual overrides and algorithmic demotions specifically targeting such right-leaning news sources as Newsmax and The Western Journal. Public perception echoes these concerns. A Pew Research Center survey revealed that 73 percent of Americans believe social media platforms and browsers censor political views. Among Republicans, the figure rose to a staggering 90 percent. While partisan suspicion alone is insufficient to prove systemic bias, academic research adds weight to the claim. Robert Epstein, a behavioral psychologist with credentials from Harvard and former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, provided peer-reviewed findings to the U.S. Senate indicating that Googleâs search manipulation may have influenced up to 2.6 million votes in favor of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Epstein's research reveals how subtle algorithmic biases in search results can profoundly influence voter behavior. In certain demographic groups, that swing can climb to an astonishing 80 percent. This influence is particularly dangerous in close elections, where even a small nudge â between 4 percent and 8 percent â could determine the winner. He emphasized that such influence operates below the threshold of awareness, undetectable by users and immune to oversight, making it one of the most powerful and least accountable forms of political persuasion in the digital age. To be clear, Epstein had no political motive behind his findings. He was a supporter of the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election, said he has never supported a conservative candidate, and has remained center-left throughout his life. More recent audits show the trend continues. In 2024, AllSides conducted a systematic review of Googleâs election-related search results and found that 65 percent were geographically mismatched. AllSides concluded that this misdirection not only limited access to localized, relevant information, it also diminished the digital presence of conservative voices. Yet despite these troubling findings, Googleâs footprint within the federal government continues to grow. In July 2025, the tech giantâs public-sector arm secured a Department of Defense contract worth up to $200 million for artificial intelligence services. Google also participates in the Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability initiative, a $9 billion cloud infrastructure project shared with Amazon and Microsoft. Through the General Services Administration, Google supplies Workspace tools to numerous federal agencies under a contract projected to save $2 billion over three years. Collaborations with DARPA, NASA, and the Department of Energy further entrench Google within critical government operations. Google isnât the only search engine available, but it still dominates the market, accounting for roughly 90 percent of global usage. That said, there are meaningful alternatives worth considering. Luxxle, for example, is a privacy-focused search engine that gives users greater control over their data and the ideological slant of the content they see. Unlike Google, it doesn't track searches, monitor user behavior, or build consumer profiles. If the Trump administration truly aims to uphold ideological neutrality and preserve intellectual freedom, cutting off funding to biased government institutions is just the first step. The greater challenge lies in confronting powerful private entities like Google, which function as modern-day gatekeepers of public discourse.
