Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to generate creative works. However, stakeholders’ perspectives regarding this trend remain underexplored. This study investigates readers’ perspectives on the impact of using AI in the creative process, and explores any information needs that are pertinent to AI-assisted creative works. Through opencoding Reddit discussion threads, the authors identified themes of positive impact (i.e., editing support and financial advantages) and negative impact (intellectual proper-ties and financial consequences) noted by readers, as well as four information needs that arose from the emergence of AI-assisted works (i.e., AI detection, disclosure, legislation, and AI literacy). By understanding readers’ perspectives on the impact of AI on creative works and their evolving information needs, this study suggests directions for future studies, such as expanding the forms of creative works investigated, soliciting opinions from diverse stakeholders, and exploring the concept of authorship and attribution in AI-assisted creative works.
