A new study published in Advanced Science by researchers from the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Neuroscience, along with collaborators from IDIBELL, CVC-UAB, and the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub, argues that AI’s “creativity” isn’t genuine. Instead, it only appears that way on the surface.

In fact, it suggests AI struggles with the deeper “thinking process” behind creativity, even if the final output seems impressive. In other words, AI can mimic creativity, but it doesn’t really understand it.
