"Participants who were not told anything about authorship formed impressions that were just as positive as those from people who were told the messages were genuinely human."
"When people knew a message was AI-generated, they rated the sender much more negatively, associating AI use with terms like 'lazy,' 'insincere,' and 'lack of effort.'"
Experiments reveal that individuals often do not consider the possibility of AI-generated messages, even when they use AI themselves. In a study with over 1,300 participants, those unaware of authorship rated AI-generated messages positively, similar to human-written ones. However, when informed of AI authorship, participants rated the sender negatively, associating AI use with laziness and insincerity. Surprisingly, frequent AI users showed only a slight reduction in negative judgment when authorship was disclosed, indicating a general lack of skepticism towards AI-generated content.
