Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an increasingly embedded part of today’s society and advances at a rapid pace. This steady improvement of AI’s abilities makes it more difficult to distinguish real from artificial content. To study the people’s ability to detect differences between AI-generated and human-made pictures, participants (N = 192) were randomly split into a training condition and a control condition and then completed online questionnaires and the main phase of the study. Results show no significant effect of the training condition but show an opposing effect when the image categories are considered separately: participants scored higher in correctly labelling AI as such, than labelling real photography correctly after training. Higher anxiety scores on AI-scales are positively related with the AI accuracy scores, but no such effect was found for the real image category. On average, women scored higher on accuracy than men. The study aims to increase the research-pool on AI-related topics and aims to spread awareness on potential threats that its development holds. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI, photography, AI anxiety, art
