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.

Diverse human groups produce diverse ideas, the raw material of innovation. Generative AI challenges this engine twice over: everyday AI assistance may homogenize what diverse people create, and AI-simulated diversity may replace the people altogether.
