Human creativity versus artificial intelligence: source attribution, observer attitudes, and eye movements while viewing visual art by Caitlin V. Cunningham, Gabriel A. Radvansky, James R. Brockmole

“…Participants were surveyed after viewing to ascertain their opinions on the quality and artistic merit of the pieces.ResultsParticipants’ gaze patterns (fixation counts, fixation durations, fixation dispersion, saccade amplitude, blink rate, saccade peak velocity, and pupil size) did not differ based on who they believed created the pieces, but their subjective opinions of the pieces were significantly more positive when they believed pieces were created by humans as opposed to AI.DiscussionThis study did not obtain any evidence that a person’s explicit “valuation” of artworks modulates the pace or spatial extent of visual exploration nor the cognitive effort expended to develop an understanding of them.…”
