🤯 ChatGPT outperforms 200 Wharton MBAs in a creativity test

The capabilities of AI in generating ideas have sparked curiosity about its true potential compared to human creativity. Professors Christian Terwiesch and Karl Ulrich from the University of Pennsylvania embarked on a recent study that pitted 200 Wharton MBA students against ChatGPT.

Both the students and ChatGPT were given the same challenge: "Create an idea for a new product or service targeting college students, priced at $50 or less." The creativity of responses was evaluated based on the quantity of ideas generated, the average quality of those ideas, and the number of exceptionally innovative ideas.

In terms of quantity, ChatGPT unsurprisingly produced ideas at a considerably faster rate than the human participants. When it came to the average quality of ideas, human-generated ideas had an average purchase probability of 40%, while ChatGPT's ideas scored notably higher at 47%.

Perhaps the most remarkable finding was related to exceptionally innovative ideas. Among the top 10% of ideas, an impressive 88% were generated by ChatGPT, leaving only 12% credited to the students.

This study contributes to the mounting evidence showcasing the remarkable performance of generative AI in tasks that were once deemed the exclusive domain of humans. 🌟
