AI Surpasses Humans In Creativity Tests

Today's AI news lineup: KPMG's Anthropic deal, a BioHub protein model, ingredient embeddings for flavor pairing, a creativity study, OpenRouter's $113M raise, SynthID watermarking, and a Kickstarter pet translator collar.

The hosts worked through a dense Thursday mix of enterprise alignment moves, frontier science, and cultural signals. A new study of 100,000 people found generative AI now beats average humans on creativity tests, complicating the long-held bet that taste and originality would remain the human edge. Watermarking expanded across providers as China tightened restrictions on AI researcher travel, and a $250M OpenAI Foundation research push landed alongside fresh Anthropic interpretability work touching mythos and the Pope. The episode closed with a Kickstarter collar promising to translate what your pet is actually saying.
