Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly entering creative fields, challenging the notion of authorship. Cultural narratives and personal experiences shape how people see AI’s impact on a modern world. This creates a new type of competition for human artists. The present work focuses on how framing (positive vs negative) and information of the source (Human vs AI) influences the perception of creativity and intentionality of the artwork. In a questionnaire-based experiment (N = 199) it was found that people rate human-made art higher both on creativity and intentionality regardless of the framing. It was also found that framing had no effect on creativity nor intentionality ratings, indicating that people may not be as susceptible to manipulation especially while holding strong implicit biases. These findings highlight that artwork judgment is tied to human authorship and that future exploration of this topic is important for creative policies and ethical guidelines. Keywords: AI, art, directional framing, source, meta-information
