AI models amplify human bias favoring human-authored text

A new study published on arXiv reveals that both humans and AI models exhibit a significant bias favoring human-generated content over AI-generated content when evaluating literary style. Researchers found that human evaluators showed a 13.7 percentage point bias towards human authorship, while AI models displayed a much stronger bias of 34.3 percentage points. This suggests that AI systems may have internalized human cultural biases against artificial creativity during their training. AI

IMPACT AI systems may be perpetuating and amplifying human biases against artificial creativity, impacting how AI-generated content is perceived and valued.

    The human-authorship halo: attribution bias in literary style evaluation by humans and AI

    arXiv:2510.08831v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As AI writing tools become widespread, we need to understand how both humans and machines evaluate literary style, a domain where objective standards are elusive and judgments are inherently subjective. We conducted controlled e…
