Two-thirds of image buyers believe human-made is better than AI-generated, but 87 percent surveyed still admit to using AI
In a set of surveys from the stock platform Storyblocks, around two-thirds of content buyers preferred human-made works
A recent study by stock platform StoryBlocks reveals that two-thirds of content buyers prefer human-made content over AI-generated alternatives. Despite this preference, a staggering 87 percent of those surveyed admitted to using AI-generated visual or audio content within the past year. The research, consisting of four surveys conducted this summer and totaling over 1,400 respondents, highlights a demand for transparency regarding AI-generated content.
More than half of the participants reported rejecting stock content because it was machine-made, with 63 percent of respondents supporting the labeling of AI-generated material. However, the importance of AI-generated content was ranked last among the qualities that matter most in a stock content platform, according to surveyed users.
While 33 to 37 percent believe AI content may be of higher quality, this figure diminished to between 5 and 8 percent among those who primarily use non-AI platforms. Despite the growing acceptance of AI-generated content, StoryBlocks remains steadfast in its policy of not accepting AI-generated content but offers generative AI tools for customizing or generating new content based on references.
