Event Description
The Digital Marketing Research Cluster at the Department of Marketing invites you to the research seminar
Idea Selection in Generative AI
with Prof. Dr. Reto Hofstetter, University of Lucerne, Switzerland
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions for various creative tasks, from content creation to logo design. Its cost-effective ability to generate abundant solutions in minimal time stands out. Typically, these AIs—like DALL-E 3 or Midjourney—present multiple options for users to select from, such as a set of four images.
This research contends that the dissimilarity of AI-generated solutions can influence how ideas are perceived and selected. High solution variance might deter users from further engagement and selection. Two studies supported this hypothesis. The first, analyzing over 21,000 users’ interactions from Midjourney, found that higher dissimilarity in generated logos led to reduced user interactions and negatively impacted the quality of chosen logos.
The second study, an experiment with 187 participants, found that high dissimilarity lowered participants’ intent to use the AI tool again. Collectively, the research suggests that AI solution dissimilarity reduces tool usage and possibly diminishes the quality of chosen ideas. This knowledge has significant implications for AI tool developers and users, emphasizing the need for calibration in AI outputs to foster productive human-AI collaborations.
