人类努力和瑕疵能提升作品价值，即使AI生成也能通过透明过程获认可
Struggle Premium : How Human Effort and Imperfection Drive Perceived Value in the Age of AI
- 用过程视频和耗时展示增强创作真实感
- 72.9%受访者愿为人工作品多付费，努力线索比瑕疵影响更大
- 适合关注AI创作可信度与人机协作设计的研究者
随着AI进入创作领域，受众对作品真实性和价值的判断日益困惑。本研究考察‘努力溢价’现象，即感知到的人类努力如何提升作品价值。通过调查70名大学生，分析过程视频、耗时记录、文字说明和瑕疵等线索对人类与AI生成作品评价的影响。结果显示，以过程为导向的线索（尤其是视频和时间投入）显著影响真实感与价值判断，而瑕疵影响有限。参与者对人工作品有明显偏好，72.9%表示愿意支付更多费用。值得注意的是，努力线索也能提升AI作品的感知价值，表明过程透明可部分弥合真实性差距。研究将努力启发式扩展至算法创作，为透明化人机协同创作系统的设计提供依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As AI enters creative practice, audiences face growing uncertainty in judging authenticity and value. This study examines the Struggle Premium, the added value attributed to perceived human effort, by analyzing how visible effort cues influence evaluations of human- and AI-generated creative works. We surveyed 70 university students, focusing on process videos, time documentation, written explanations, and imperfections. Process-oriented cues, especially videos and time spent, most strongly shaped authenticity and value judgments, while imperfections had limited impact. Participants showed a clear preference for human-made works, with 72.9% willing to pay more. Notably, effort cues also improved perceptions of AI-generated content, suggesting that process transparency can partially bridge authenticity gaps. These findings extend the effort heuristic to algorithmic creativity and inform the design of transparent human-AI creative systems.
