Title: Perception and Preference in Poetry: Biases Toward AI-Generated Poems
Abstract: AI-generated art and text have become increasingly common, and increasingly sophisticated. This talk presents findings showing that AI-generated poems have become indistinguishable from the poetry of human poets. In fact, we find that participants are more likely to believe that AI-generated poems are human-authored when actually human-authored poems. We offer a partial explanation: participants prefer AI-generated poems because AI poetry is more likely to match their expectations of what a poem looks like. Participants also expect that professional poets will produce “better” poems than AI poems, as evidenced by our results showing that the same poem is consistently rated higher when participants are told it was written by a human poet than when told it was generated by AI. As a result, participants are more likely to rate AI poems as human-authored (compared to actually human-authored poems) because they wrongly infer that the poems they like better are more likely to be written by human poets.
