Abstract
This paper shows that humans perceive the value of paintings made by AI as lower than the value of those made by humans when the creator of the work is known. This phenomenon occurs regardless of which style (figurative or abstract) the evaluated paintings have. The negative impact of the information that AI is the author of a painting is mediated by the author’s artistry (AA) and the overall impression (OI) the painting makes on participants. Moreover, it was found that people use context cues when assessing paintings made by humans and AI. The perceived value of a painting increases when the information about the value of the painting made by AI was provided as a context cue, indicating that people exclude works created by AI from the category of human-made art. The method used in the research is an experiment made with 296 respondents (42.6% female). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 62 (M = 35.30, SD = 10.76).
