Difficulty in Distinguishing AI Art
Most participants struggled to accurately identify AI art compared to human-created artwork, with median test scores slightly above chance. In a challenge involving 50 images from various styles, participants scored an average of only 60.6%, indicating that many found the task more difficult than anticipated. Despite efforts to ensure quality and avoid obvious indicators of AI art, the results highlighted a general inability to discern subtle differences between the two forms. This raises questions about how representative the test was of real-world scenarios, where more ambiguous works may present challenges that were not accounted for.
