GenAI修图让人更快乐，但可能扭曲真实记忆
"I'm happy even though it's not real": GenAI Photo Editing as a Remembering Experience
- 用生成式AI编辑照片时，人们更看重情感体验而非事实准确
- 环境可随意修改，但涉及人物身份的改动会被拒绝
- 编辑过程本身成为回忆的一部分，兼具疗愈与风险
生成式人工智能（GenAI）正越来越多地集成到个人设备的照片应用中，使照片编辑变得前所未有的便捷，但同时也可能影响照片所承载的记忆。本研究探索了人们如何以及为何使用GenAI编辑个人照片，以及这一行为如何塑造其回忆体验。我们进行了两阶段定性研究，共12名参与者：第一阶段在回忆体验（RX）维度指导下使用GenAI工具进行照片编辑；第二阶段通过半结构化访谈，让参与者反思编辑过程与结果。研究发现，参与者更重视情感记忆而非事实准确性。对于不同照片元素，环境可轻易修改，但涉及人物身份的改动被视为不可接受。编辑过程带来正负双重影响，且其本身也成为一种回忆体验。我们进一步讨论了GenAI编辑在记忆保存中的潜在益处与风险，并提出了负责任的GenAI设计启示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly integrated into photo applications on personal devices, making editing photographs easier than ever while potentially influencing the memories they represent. This study explores how and why people use GenAI to edit personal photos and how this shapes their remembering experience. We conducted a two-phase qualitative study with 12 participants: a photo editing session using a GenAI tool guided by the Remembering Experience (RX) dimensions, followed by semi-structured interviews where participants reflected on the editing process and results. Findings show that participants prioritised felt memory over factual accuracy. For different photo elements, environments were modified easily, however, editing was deemed unacceptable if it touched upon a person's identity. Editing processes brought positive and negative impacts, and itself also became a remembering experience. We further discuss potential benefits and risks of GenAI editing for remembering purposes and propose design implications for responsible GenAI.
