Perception of AI vs. Human Content
Research indicates that people perceive AI-generated articles as more objective and error-free compared to human-written content, a phenomenon described as the 'machine heuristic.' Participants in a study rated AI content as more accurate and less biased, often giving it the edge over human-produced work. This finding challenges the assumption that readers would be more critical of AI content if they knew its origin. The study’s results provoke interesting questions about how AI-generated content is received in various contexts beyond news articles.
