研究发现,AI生成艺术在Reddit艺术社区中占比不足0.5%,但相关争议持续存在。
Examining the Prevalence and Dynamics of AI-Generated Media in Art Subreddits
- 对比有无禁止AI内容的社区,分析作者自认和评论区怀疑AI生成的内容
- 2023年底前AI图像帖占比低于0.5%,但对AI的指责却更持久
- 新手更倾向使用AI提升参与度,但负面评论趋势上升,尤其在无明确规则社区
Dall-E等广泛可用的生成式AI模型使普通人也能创作出引人注目的视觉艺术。在在线社区中,AI生成内容(AIGC)可能影响社交动态,例如改变发帖者身份,或在帖子被怀疑为AI生成时引发讨论规范的变化。本研究旨在考察AIGC对Reddit艺术类社区的影响。我们区分了禁止AI内容的社区与无此政策的社区,分析了作者主动声明由AI创作的图像帖子,以及评论中对作者使用生成式AI的怀疑或指控。结果显示,截至2023年底,AI发布帖(及指控)在图像类帖子中占比不足0.5%。尽管作者自认的AI内容数量随时间减少,但对其使用的指控却保持较高频率。我们发现AI内容更常被新用户使用,有助于提升参与度,前提是符合社区规则。然而,对他人使用AI的评论语气随时间趋于负面,尤其在没有明确规则的社区中更为明显。总体表明,创意类在线社区中围绕AIGC的规范与互动正在演变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Broadly accessible generative AI models like Dall-E have made it possible for anyone to create compelling visual art. In online communities, the introduction of AI-generated content (AIGC) may impact social dynamics, for example causing changes in who is posting content, or shifting the norms or the discussions around the posted content if posts are suspected of being generated by AI. We take steps towards examining the potential impact of AIGC on art-related communities on Reddit. We distinguish between communities that disallow AI content and those without such a direct policy. We look at image-based posts in these communities where the author transparently shares that the image was created by AI, and at comments in these communities that suspect or accuse authors of using generative AI. We find that AI posts (and accusations) have played a surprisingly small part in these communities through the end of 2023, accounting for fewer than 0.5% of the image-based posts. However, even as the absolute number of author-labeled AI posts dwindles over time, accusations of AI use remain more persistent. We show that AI content is more readily used by newcomers and may help increase participation if it aligns with community rules. However, the tone of comments suspecting AI use by others has become more negative over time, especially in communities that do not have explicit rules about AI. Overall, the results show the changing norms and interactions around AIGC in online communities designated for creativity.
