Is AI helping us think outside the box, or quietly making our ideas all the same?This episode dives into the paradox of “AI creativity”—where large language models ace creativity tests, but our collective ideas become strangely… familiar.

In this episode:

- The difference between originality and true diversity in ideas

- How three major studies reveal AI’s double-edged sword for creators

- The metrics and methods no one tells you about (and why they might be lying)

- Why cosine similarity (yes, that Netflix math thing) might not tell us what we think it does

- How to actually use AI for better brainstorming—without falling for the comfort zone trap
