Survey Reveals Growing Demand for Human Touch in AI-Generated Art

quick Summary

• A survey conducted by researcher Gabriel Kreiman from Harvard Medical School and journalist Deni Bechard assessed public views on AI-generated art. The survey included 150 respondents from the U.S.
• Survey Findings:

– 62% of participants reported they would like a piece of art less if it were entirely AI-created, while 32% said their feelings wouldn’t change, and nearly 5% said they’d like it more.
– Respondents expressed concerns about emotional depth in AI-generated art but were more accepting if human artists had significant involvement through guiding prompts or tools.
– On whether users of AI should be considered artists:
– ~42% believed “Yes, only with significant guidance to the AI.”
– ~31% said “No.”
– Remaining participants were split between outright approval or uncertainty.

• Art forms where AI was deemed most acceptable included digital art, poetry, and fiction. Least acceptable forms included movies, TV shows, podcasts-areas where authentic replication by AI remains challenging.
• Commentary from survey respondents highlighted skepticism about authenticity and connection in fully automated artistic works but acknowledged potential accessibility benefits for emerging creators using AI tools.
• Ethical concerns such as copyright violations and misuse (e.g.,deepfakes) were raised alongside calls for stricter safeguards in developing commercial AI algorithms.
