“These results show that the collaboration of humans and artificial intelligence contributes to better creativity in the creation of haiku,” the study states.

It is stated that the participants in the study evaluated the haiku displayed on the computer screen on a seven-point scale, according to criteria such as whether they felt the “beauty” of the works.

Haiku, created by artificial intelligence, got the highest score with 4.56 points. Works of poets – 4.15 points.

Participants were also asked whether each haiku was created by a human or an artificial intelligence, and the results showed that they could not tell the difference.

According to the researchers, the results of the experiment reveal a psychological effect called “algorithm reluctance” when people think that high-quality jobs are created by humans. At the time, the study led participants to mistakenly believe that the AI-generated and highly-rated haiku was actually created by humans.

Haiku is a genre of Japanese lyric poetry, a three-line, rhyming-free poem based on the first half stanza of a tanka, consisting of 17 syllables (5-7-5) and characterized by the simplicity of poetic language and freedom of expression.

As reported by Ukrinform, the research group of Kyoto University (Japan) demonstrated a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence that understands human humor.
