Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools could create statements that are seemingly plausible but factually incorrect. This is referred to as AI hallucination, which can contribute to the generation and dissemination of misinformation. Thus, the present study examines whether forewarning about AI hallucination could reduce individuals' acceptance of AI-generated misinformation. An online experiment with 208 Korean adults demonstrated that AI hallucination forewarning reduced misinformation acceptance (p = 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.45) while forewarning did not reduce acceptance of true information (p = 0.91). In addition, the effect of AI hallucination forewarning on misinformation acceptance was moderated by preference for effortful thinking (p < 0.01) such that forewarning decreased misinformation acceptance when preference for effortful thinking was high (vs. low).

生成式人工智能与错误信息接受：人工智能幻觉预警效果的实验检验。

生成式人工智能（AI）工具可以创建看似合理但实际上不正确的语句。这被称为人工智能幻觉，它会导致错误信息的产生和传播。因此，本研究考察了对人工智能幻觉的预警是否会降低个体对人工智能产生的错误信息的接受程度。一项针对208名韩国成年人的在线实验表明，人工智能幻觉预警降低了对错误信息的接受度（p = 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.45），而预警并没有降低对真实信息的接受度（p = 0.91）。此外，人工智能幻觉预警对错误信息接受的影响受到努力思维偏好的调节（p < 0.01），即当努力思维偏好高时，预警会降低错误信息接受度（vs.低）。
