Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) produced content is entering our lives in many ways, including exposure to AI images. This is leading to issues of indistinguishability. Issues range from fraud to feared job loss due to copyright infringements. The present research tested whether the difference between AI Images and art can be learned. A spaced interleaved inductive learning paradigm was used to train participants in the experimental condition, then all participants were tested on their ability to distinguish between AI imagery and art. In the test, participants were shown an image and had to indicate whether it was an AI image or art. After exclusion, our study had 82 participants. The results show that said learning paradigm can be used to train people to distinguish between AI imagery and art. The bias against AI was replicated and we found no individual differences moderating the training effect. These findings might help with the development of training programs to differentiate AI images and art. We suggest, that real-life encounter learning might take place, leading to people being able to tell if they see an AI image. Future research could look at new insights into the qualitative differences between AI imagery and art, the bias surrounding them, as well as individual differences that could enlarge the training effect. Keywords: Art, AI images, Artificial intelligence, AI, Inductive learning, Midjourney, spaced interleaved inductive learning paradigm
