- “Rose Guingrich, a PhD student at Princeton University studying Human-AI interactions, echoes and extends this sentiment. ‘Above and beyond the art itself, we have a natural tendency to see the act of creation itself as being intrinsically valuable. And Artificial Intelligence can be seen as removing this process.’ There’s a special connection between creativity and experience which we implicitly recognize. As Guingrich continues, ‘From a psychological perspective, creative ideas can come from a combination and recombination of ideas in your head that can come together in novel and unanticipated ways. In this way, you can’t separate the creative process, and the creative output from everything else you’ve ever experienced.’”

- “In theory, the same dynamic could work in the other direction, encouraging users to treat other people well. In a paper published in Frontiers in Psychology earlier this year, Princeton researchers Rose Guingrich and Michael Graziano argued that increasingly human-like AI, merely by seeming human-like to users, has the potential to cause ‘a massive shift of normative social behavior across the world.’ Such power ought to be regulated, they write, possibly by a Food and Drug Administration-style agency that studies the effects of human-like AI and ensures it is designed in ways that encourage prosocial behavior.”
