DALL·E 2: Extending creativity

As part of our DALL·E 2 research preview, more than 3,000 artists from more than 118 countries have incorporated DALL·E into their creative workflows. The artists in our early access group have helped us discover new uses for DALL·E and have served as key voices as we’ve made decisions about DALL·E’s features.

Collective creativity in hybrid societies

The article discusses how generative AI is reshaping the creation and circulation of cultural artifacts, prompting debate over whether these tools enrich or impoverish culture. It distinguishes between novelty—an attribute of individual artifacts—and diversity—an attribute of populations—arguing that creativity should be viewed as a property of hybrid collectives composed of people and algorithms. The authors find that AI-assisted ideation increases the novelty of individual outputs while potentially narrowing overall diversity, but that mixed human–machine groups can outperform single-type groups and sustain machine-generated solutions within human culture, depending on the composition and connectivity of the agents involved.

Can an AI System Be Creative? A Critical Perspective from Art and Engineering

arXiv:2607. 20796v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper examines the question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be creative, approached from the dual perspective of a researcher trained in electrical engineering, pattern recognition, machine learning, and neural networks, who has also spent most of his life engaged in the arts as actor, stage and film director, writer, composer, and visual artist, and in philosophy.

Sanyu Studio: A Multi-Agent System for Art-Historical Narrative Construction

Sanyu Studio is a multi‑agent dialogue system that treats 321 Sanyu oil paintings as agents equipped with fact, interpretation, organization, and memory‑filtering mechanisms. The paper reports on a seven‑day workshop with eight art‑university participants, showing that user prompts, evidence organization, and cognitive tendencies produced divergent yet coherent digital narratives of Sanyu. The study suggests that, when historical evidence is limited, AI can amplify human agency and provide public audiences with an interactive entry point into art‑historical interpretation.
