Lighting Up or Dimming Down? Exploring Dark Patterns of LLMs in Co-Creativity

Study catalogs how LLM failure modes manifest as exploitable "dark patterns" in co-creative workflows, revealing fundamental gaps between marketed utility and actual collaborative potential.

Large Language Models Align with the Human Brain during Creative Thinking

Brain imaging data reveals that LLM activations genuinely align with human neural patterns during creative reasoning, suggesting their generative mechanisms mirror aspects of human creative cognition rather than merely mimicking outputs.
