A link to the paper itself, if like me you have a math background, and are wondering WTF that means and how you measure creativity mathematically. Or for that matter what amateur-tier creativity means. Unfortunately, it’s probably too new to pirate, if you don’t have a subscription to the Journal of Creative Behaviour.
At least according to the article, he argues that novelty and correctness are opposite each other in an LLM, which tracks. The nice round numbers used to describe that feel like bullshit, though. If you’re metric boils down to a few bits don’t try and pad it by converting to reals.
That’s not even the real kicker, though. So are the two anticorrelated in humans. Generations of people have remarked on the connection between oddity or straight-up mental illness and the most creative people, and contemporary psychology has captured that connection statistically, in the form of “impulsive unconventionality”.
novelty and correctness are opposite each other in humans
So, this is not true.
There’s an inverse-U-shaped relationship between several mental characteristics and creativity, such as disinhibition (and, more surprisingly, knowledge):

Here’s a glimpse into the ongoing research.
