Abstract

In recent years, the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI) in artistic creation has sparked widespread discussion. Existing studies have shown that there are significant differences in people's perception and evaluation of artworks created by humans and generated by AI. However, in the research on the evaluation of AI-generated artworks, art expertise as an important influencing factor has not been fully explored. This study aims to examine how art expertise affects the emotional intensity when viewing artworks and the evaluation of the creativity of AI artworks. In addition, the study introduced participants' attitude towards AI as a moderating variable to further explore its role in the relationship between art expertise and creativity evaluation. We conducted a survey (N=258) that contained 12 images of artworks created by either AI or humans and asked participants to evaluate the images. The results show that the more artistic expertise a person has, the lower their evaluation of the creativity of AI-generated works, but no other effects were found. Keywords: AI generated art, art expertise, AI attitude, art evaluation
