Human diversity fuels collective creativity that large language models cannot simulate or sustain
arXiv:2607. 26899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diverse human groups produce diverse ideas, the raw material of innovation.
Breaking Homogeneity: Diversifying Persona Sets for Creative LLM Outputs
The paper introduces persona diversification as a set‑level conditioning strategy to reduce homogeneity in large language model outputs. It explores two design axes—selecting versus generating personas and space‑filling versus frontier‑seeking diversity—implementing four methods that span coverage and dispersion subset selections, uniform‑coverage sampling, and evolutionary persona generation. Experiments on tasks such as the Alternative Uses Task, Infinity‑Chat, and Divergent Association Task demonstrate significant gains in response diversity, originality, flexibility, and overall creativity, while maintaining high validity.
