1. 🧠 It is difficult to distinguish between art created by artificial intelligence and human creation. Participants only had about half the accuracy, but they preferred human creation.
2. 🤔 Although participants were less confident about the source of their works, they were more emotionally inclined towards human creations, especially in terms of self-reflection, appeal, nostalgia and entertainment.
3. 🌐 Research reveals the potential of generative artificial intelligence, which brings new possibilities for the application of AI in creative fields, although participants struggled to identify artistic sources.
Webmaster Home (ChinaZ.com) December 19 news: According to research from Bowling Green State University, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has blurred boundaries in determining the source of images, but the study found that people subconsciously Prefer true human art.
Andrew Samo, a doctoral candidate in industrial and organizational psychology at Bowling Green State University, and Distinguished Research Professor Scott Highhouse published a study on AI versus human art. study, which found that people generally can't tell the difference between AI and human art, but they prefer the latter, even if they can't explain why.
Sommer said: "Art is considered a uniquely human domain because it conveys a feeling about the human experience or conveys some ideas that artificial intelligence does not." He noted: "To some extent, people Feeling more strongly about art created by humans."
Participants in the study had difficulty identifying which of the artworks they viewed were created by humans without being told that some of the artworks were produced by AI. Instead, they were simply told that they would view a series of pictures and rate them on 30 to 50 aesthetic judgment factors, a reliable method rooted in psychometrics for quantifying artistic emotion and experience. .
"Previous research has shown that if people know art is produced by AI, they tend to be biased towards it and say they like it less," Sommer said. "But no one has actually looked at this new AI. Art without any deception. I wonder, if we just showed people these images, could they tell which ones were made by humans and which ones by AI? If they did know which one was which, how could we? What about knowing what characteristics make them different?”
Study finds the power of generative AI: Participants correctly identified the origin of artworks just over half the time, and even then, they weren’t sure whether their guesses correct. "It's really like flipping a coin - when you show them these images, they guess right about 50 to 60 percent of the time," Sommer said. "In general, people don't know which is which, When we asked them how confident they were, they usually said they were only 50 percent confident."
The difficulty in distinguishing between the creators of a work of art led to another interesting finding: Even if people weren't quite sure why, they Prefer art created by humans.
After reviewing the data, Sommer and Highhouse found clear differences in how people felt about human art and AI art. Although participants were less confident in identifying the work's provenance, they developed more positive emotions toward art created by humans. "They often don't know the difference, and once you ask them, they admit they can't tell the difference," said
Samo. "But the next layer in this is that people often make reliable decisions without knowing whether it was made by an AI or a human. said they preferred images of humans." He continued: "We found that people had more positive emotions when looking at paintings of humans, which makes sense."
Of all the aesthetic judgment factors, four accounted for the most Most variance. Art created by humans scored higher on self-reflection, appeal, nostalgia, and entertainment, indicating that people are more connected to human art.
But when asked why participants felt this way, they couldn't explain it. One explanation the researchers discuss in their paper is that the brain might detect small differences in art created by AI.
