Effects of ChatGPT use on undergraduate students’ creativity: a threat to creative thinking? Toma, Radu Bogdan Yánez Pérez, Iraya Artificial intelligence ChatGPT Creativity Education Largue language models Concerns have arisen regarding the potential negative impact of long-term ChatGPT use on creative thinking. This study investigates these effects using a one-group, pretest–posttest design involving 31 undergraduates over a 10-week intervention period. Participants used ChatGPT to complete academic assignments focused on designing teaching units on bacterial growth, chronic disease, and the human body. Creativity was assessed using the CREA-Creative Intelligence test, a valid and reliable instrument. Data were analyzed using both frequentist and Bayesian methods. The results showed that 25% of participants experienced decreased creativity, 21.43% remained unchanged, and 53.57% showed improvement. Overall, the study found no evidence that ChatGPT negatively impacts creative thinking. 2025-03-25T08:02:11Z 2025-03-25T08:02:11Z 2025-03-25T08:02:11Z 2024-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/10259/10366 10.1007/s44163-024-00172-x 2731-0809 eng Discover Artificial Intelligence. 2024, V 4, n. 1 https://doi.org/10.1007/s44163-024-00172-x http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Springer
