A study revealed that Chinese art students with higher scores in narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism were more likely to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney. These students also exhibited greater anxiety about their academic performance and a tendency to procrastinate, exacerbating their reliance on AI for schoolwork. The research linked AI usage in this demographic to behaviors typically associated with academic misconduct, suggesting a troubling trend in the intersection of personality traits and technology use in education.
The researchers found that students who scored higher for dark personality traits were more likely to try to pass AI-generated work off as their own.
Students who scored highly on the 'Dark Triad' questions were also more anxious about their academic performance and more likely to procrastinate on assignments.
Higher rates of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism were associated with increased reliance on AI tools among art students.
The study framed AI use among art school students as akin to academic misconduct behaviors like cheating, lying, and plagiarism.
