Irrationality in humans and creativity in AI.
Review in Frontiers in artificial intelligence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This manuscript explores how human irrationality in decision-making can contribute to artificial intelligence (AI) development, particularly in the domain of creativity. While irrational behavior is typically seen as a cognitive flaw, we argue that certain forms of irrationality, such as those demonstrated by the conjunction fallacy (CF), may represent context-sensitive reasoning that reveals creative problem-solving. Traditional AI research has primarily focused on rational, logic-driven models, overlooking the productive role of non-linear and seemingly illogical human thinking in generating novel insights. Drawing on interdisciplinary insights and recent neuroscientific findings, particularly the interaction of the Default Mode, Executive Control, and Salience Networks, we propose a model that integrates both rational and irrational cognitive dynamics. This framework may inform the design of AI systems that are more adaptive, context-aware, and capable of emulating human-like creativity.
