Yet well-documented algorithm aversion raises the possibility of consumer bias in favour of human-produced work. This paper uses incentivised experimental auctions and state-of-the-art generative AI software to compare consumer valuations for human- versus AI-created artworks. We find no intrinsic favouritism towards human-created work in consumer valuations, suggesting that prospects for workers in AI-substitutable roles are bleak. However, demand for AI-created products varies with individuals\u2019 attitudes toward AI, indicating that economies with more prevalent anti-AI sentiment may better sustain human labour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: No Silver Lining: Consumer Indifference Between Human and AI Production Date: 26 March 2025 Time: 13:30-14:30 Venue: NUBS.4.25 If you would like to attend,&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2025\/03\/17\/economics-research-seminar-dr-tom-lane-dr-harry-pickard-dr-matt-walker\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,6],"tags":[1004,210],"class_list":["post-17383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-research","tag-economics-research-seminar","tag-research-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17383"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17383\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17384,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17383\/revisions\/17384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
