AI Struggles to Pick the Best Story: What a New Study Uncovered
Ever wondered if a computer can tell which story feels more exciting? Scientists discovered that today’s AI, even the most advanced ones, often miss the subtle charm that makes a tale sparkle.
They built a special test called WritingPreferenceBench, gathering 1,800 paired stories in English and Chinese, all matched for facts and length.
When the AI was asked to choose the more engaging piece, it guessed correctly only about half the time—no better than a coin flip.
Imagine asking a friend to pick the tastier slice of cake without looking at the frosting; most would guess, but many would be wrong.
Surprisingly, a new kind of AI that explains its reasoning—like “this line feels more vivid because…”—got the right answer more than 80% of the time.
This shows that reasoning matters more than raw speed, and that machines still have a long way to go before they truly understand human taste.
The takeaway? Even as AI gets smarter, the magic of creativity and emotion remains a uniquely human treasure, waiting for the day machines can truly feel it.
