Human Creativity Benchmark

Researchers introduced the Human Creativity Benchmark (HCB), a new evaluation framework that separates professional agreement on technical dimensions from legitimate disagreement on taste-driven dimensions across 15,000 judgments in five creative domains. The benchmark reveals that no AI model excels uniformly across all workflow phases, and collapsing these signals into a single metric discards actionable information about where models must be correct versus steerable.

Modern AI evaluation frameworks treat evaluator disagreement as noise to be resolved. In creative domains, professional disagreement reflects genuine differences in taste, not measurement error. We argue that evaluating creative AI requires preserving two distinct signals: convergence, where professionals align around shared best practices, and divergence, where individual taste legitimately varies. We present the Human Creativity Benchmark (HCB), a benchmark that operationalizes this separation by collecting pairwise preferences, scalar ratings on prompt adherence, usability, and visual appeal, and qualitative rationale from domain professionals. Across 15,000 professional judgments spanning five creative domains and three workflow phases (ideation, mockup, refinement), we find that convergence concentrates on verifiable dimensions like technical correctness and visual hierarchy, while divergence concentrates on taste-driven dimensions like aesthetic direction and conceptual risk. No model excels uniformly across all phases. Collapsing these signals into a single quality metric discards the most actionable information: where models must be correct versus where they should remain steerable. Category: Uncategorized.
