A New study out of Aalto University has shed light on a curious question: Is artificial intelligence actually creative—or do we just think it is?

Researchers found that people rate AI-generated art as more creative when they see more of the creative process. Participants who were shown only a robot’s still-life drawings gave moderate creativity scores. But those scores jumped when they saw the drawing process and spiked again when the robot was shown in action.


Interestingly, the robot wasn’t creative—it mimicked an artist’s work. Still, people’s perceptions shifted based on how much they saw, proving that “creativity” is in the eye of the beholder. The study has major implications for AI design and how we judge machines and humans.
