LG AI Research and Parsons School of Design conducted a study on human-AI creative collaboration using the AI agent ChatEXAONE. The experiment paired human participants with an AI partner whose responses were read aloud by a human proxy, and found that while participants sometimes felt a sense of connection, the AI lacked genuine emotional engagement and natural conversational flow.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.lgresearch.ai/news/view?seq=546:

> How do we build creative connections in an era where artificial intelligence increasingly mediates our conversations? This project is a provocation with an experimental design involving human participants and AI, where language models actively seek to foster creative intimacy.
