Study: People Connect Emotionally to AI Art, But Human Art Still Has Greater Impact

A new study finds that people experience emotions and perceive intentionality when viewing AI-generated abstract art, even when told it was computer-created.

However, people still respond more strongly and positively to art when correctly told it was made by a human artist.

This suggests people can form emotional connections to AI art, but human-made art has greater emotional impact.

The study raises questions about human-AI relationships and roles in art, design, and entertainment.

More research is needed on how humans distinguish and respond to AI vs human-generated art as AI creativity advances.
