In an online experiment, writers given access to generative AI plot ideas produced stories that were rated as more creative, better written, and more enjoyable than stories by writers without AI access, with the largest gains concentrated among the least inherently creative writers; AI-assisted stories were also more similar to each other than human-only stories were.
"We find that access to generative AI ideas causes stories to be evaluated as more creative, better written, and more enjoyable, especially among less creative writers. However, generative AI-enabled stories are more similar to each other than stories by humans alone. These results point to an increase in individual creativity at the risk of losing collective novelty."
