Half of adults admit they would publish work created mainly by AI and not say so — despite believing other people should do just that
Survey reveals people expect AI-created work to be labeled as such, but aren’t so keen on doing the labeling when they’ve worked on the prompt themselves.
A recent survey by Use.AI has revealed a growing discrepancy in attitudes towards AI-generated content, with half of adults admitting they would publish work mainly created by AI without disclosing its origins. Of the 7,200 adults surveyed across the US, European Union, the UK, and Latin America, 69% believe AI-generated material can be presented as their own work if they provided the prompt and approved the final version.
However, 54% feel AI-based work should be clearly marked, indicating a growing divide in how ownership and expectations around AI-generated content are perceived. This emerging "authorship by direction" model, where AI is trusted to create a first draft that is then revised and claimed by a human, raises questions about ownership and authorship, with only a human name appearing on the finished product.
