Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

Well, it does say "AI Generated", which is what they are.

All of the images in the survey were either generated by AI and then curated by humans, or they were generated by humans and then curated by humans.

I imagine that you could also train an AI to select which images to present to a group of test subjects. Then, you could do a survey that has AI generated images that were curated by an AI, and compare them to human generated images that were curated by an AI.

Unless they explained that to the participants, it defeats the point of the question.

When you ask if it's "artist or AI", you're implying there was no artist input in the latter.

The question should have been "Did the artist use generative AI tools in this work or did they not"?

Every "AI generated" image you see online is curated like that. Yet none of them are called "artist using generative AI tools".
