Recent research reveals that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT struggle to represent sensory concepts, such as flowers, due to their lack of physical experience. Although AIs can generate human-like text, they miss the depth and richness that human sensory experiences provide. The study, conducted by Ohio State University researchers, highlights that this limitation contributes to AI's shallow creative outputs, as they cannot engage with or understand the complexity of human experiences. Consequently, AIs may be seen as fundamentally different in cognition compared to humans, raising questions about their creative capabilities.
AI doesn't have rich sensory experiences, which is why AI frequently produces things that satisfy a kind of minimal definition of creativity, but it's hollow and shallow.
A large language model can't smell a rose, touch the petals of a daisy or walk through a field of wildflowers.
