The study also found that a positive attitude towards technology and openness to new experiences influenced participants' impressions of AI-generated art. Grassini believes that as more products become AI-generated, it's important to understand that people's perceptions of whether something is human-made or not will impact their feelings towards it. He suggests that AI could be used as a tool or source of inspiration by artists, rather than a threat to traditional art forms.
Key takeaways:
- People tend to prefer images created by artificial intelligence (AI) and often mistake them for human-created art, according to a study by Simone Grassini and Mika Koivisto.
- However, images believed to be AI-generated were rated as less beautiful and of lower emotional value, indicating that people's perception of the source of the art influences their feelings towards it.
- Two personal traits that influenced participants’ impression of AI-generated images were a positive attitude towards technology and openness to new experiences.
- AI is not seen as a threat to artists but could be used as a tool for inspiration and creating new artistic genres and forms of expression.
