Image-generation models are changing how we express ourselves in visual art. However, what people think of AI-generated art is still largely unexplored, especially compared to traditional art. In this paper, we present the design of an interactive research product, GenFrame - an image-generating picture frame that appears as a traditional painting but offers the viewer the agency to modify the depicted painting. In the current paper, we report on a study where we deployed the GenFrame in a traditional art museum and interviewed visitors about their views on AI art. When provoked by AI-generated art, people need more of the artist's backstory and emotional journey to make the artwork commensurate with traditional art. However, generative AI-enabled interactive experiences open new ways of engaging with art when a turn of a dial can modify art styles or motifs on a painting.

翻译：图像生成模型正在改变我们在视觉艺术中的表达方式。然而，相较于传统艺术，公众对人工智能生成艺术的看法在很大程度上仍未得到充分探索。本文介绍了一项互动研究产品的设计——GenFrame，这是一款外观类似传统画作、但允许观看者自主修改所呈现画作的图像生成画框。本研究将GenFrame部署于传统美术馆，并对参观者进行访谈以了解他们对AI艺术的看法。研究发现，当面对AI生成的艺术作品时，人们需要更多了解艺术家的背景故事和情感历程，才能使其与传统艺术品具有同等价值。不过，基于生成式AI的互动体验开启了艺术参与的新方式——只需转动旋钮即可改变画作的风格或主题。演示视频可通过以下链接观看：https://youtu.be/1rhW4fazaBY。
