A research group consisting of Yoshiyuki Ueda, a specific lecturer at Kyoto University's Institute for the Future of Humans and Society, a doctoral student at the same university's Graduate School of Education, Nihei Hitsuwari, a doctoral student at the same university's Graduate School of Education, Woojin Yun, and an associate professor at Riro Nomura, created a haiku created by AI. He conducted an experiment in which people evaluated the beauty of haiku created by professional haiku poets, and revealed that "the beauty of haiku is the highest when humans select haiku created by AI."
AI-based art can be divided into those in which humans are involved in some way in the creation of AI (Human in the loop: HITL) and those that are completed without human intervention (Human out of the loop: HOTL).This time, this group focused on haiku, which is said to be the world's shortest poem, and asked how the haiku created by HITL and HOTL and the haiku (composed by professional haiku poets) published in the saijiki were evaluated by people today. was experimentally investigated. The AI haiku was selected from among the works of "AI Issa-kun" developed by Associate Professor Michio Yamashita of the Harmonic Engineering Laboratory of Hokkaido University. , the randomly selected haiku were chosen as HOTL haiku.
As a result of the experiment, HITL haiku was evaluated as the most beautiful, and HOTL haiku and human-made haiku were evaluated equally.In addition, when asked to guess whether a given haiku was written by an AI or a human, the participants were unable to discern whether it was written by an AI or by a human.This result suggests that AI is becoming comparable to human creativity in the field of haiku creation, a language art, and that it is possible to create more creative works by collaborating with humans and AI, as in HITL haiku. was done.
On the other hand, the participants tended to lower their evaluation of the beauty of the haiku the more they thought it was made by AI. It was also suggested that there is a possibility that it exists in people's latent sense of values toward art.
As shown by the results of this research, collaboration between humans and AI can produce more creative works of art, so there are high expectations for a society in which humans and AI can develop in harmony.
