A recent study at VU University Amsterdam shows that people rate artworks produced by artificial intelligence (AI) as less impressive and creative than artworks created by humans. This is especially true for people who consider creativity an exclusively human trait, suggesting that this disparagement of AI-generated art is related to an anthropocentric worldview. Participants in the study rated artworks labelled ‘AI’ as less creative than artworks labelled ‘human’, regardless of content. These findings point to a human need to maintain an anthropocentric worldview as it comes under pressure from recent AI developments.
