Comparing Large Language Models Verbal Creativity to Human Verbal Creativity

Anca Dinu, Andra Florescu


Abstract
This study investigates verbal creativity differences and similarities between Large Language Models and humans, based ontheir answers given to the integrated verbal creativity test in [1 ]. Since this article reported a very small difference of scoresin favour of the machines, the aim of the present work is to thoroughly analyse the data through four methods: scoring theuniqueness of the answers of one human or one machine compared to all the others, semantic similarity clustering, binaryclassification and manual inspection of the data. The results showed that humans and machines are on a par in terms ofuniqueness scores, that humans and machines group in two well defined clusters based on semantics similarities, and that theanswers are not so easy to automatically classify in human answers and LLM answers.
