Abstract
Art perception varies among individuals and is influenced by factors such as art expertise. Prior research has shown an anthropocentric bias. That is, a tendency to favor human-made over AI-generated outputs. In this study, participants (N = 199) rated 12 artworks, labeled as either human-made or AI-generated, on their perceived beauty and the intentionality of the artwork. Art expertise was assessed using the Aesthetic Fluency Scale, with participants categorized as either experts (i.e., high on AFS) or non-experts (i.e., low on AFS). Results showed no significant difference in beauty ratings between experts and non-experts. However, experts rated human-made artworks significantly higher in intentionality than AI-generated ones, while non-experts showed no such difference. These findings suggest that anthropocentric bias may be more pronounced in experts, but primarily in judgments of intentionality rather than beauty. The study highlights the role of art expertise in shaping evaluations of abstract AI-generated art, contributing to our understanding of subjective biases in aesthetic experience.
