A new study finds that people prefer watching news videos created by humans over news videos created by artificial intelligence (AI).
Researchers at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany, have created three different news videos on topics such as Donald Trump and Justin Bieber. One automated by an AI, another partially automated by editing by a human creator, and finally he one created solely by humans.
A total of 42 videos were created and 100 people rated and watched them. As a result, researchers came to the conclusion that ‘human-made videos are better than those created by automation.’
according to press gazette, viewers preferred videos created by humans. Because they tell you things they don’t know, they’re more professional, fact-packed, and generally more engaging, comprehensive, and have a better story flow.
Audiences found the AI-generated news clips to be more sensational and emotional. Humans also made better use of audio, music, and photography.
“they [the AI videos] They tended to be a little repetitive in the images they used,” says study co-author Dr. Neil Thurman. “They didn’t do a good job of matching images and captions and things like that.”
The AI also made mistakes such as accidentally including a photo of another footballer when creating a video about Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, while there were noticeable differences between fully automated and human-generated videos, there was not much difference between partially automated and human-generated videos. “Moderate use of automation, and some automation” is suggested. Human editing after automation can be well received. ”
“One of the key takeaways from this study is that the output of video automation may be best served in a hybrid format, human-machine collaboration,” said co-author of the study. added Dr. Michael Koliska of Georgetown University.
“Such hybridisation requires more human supervision, allowing automated video production to maintain quality standards while leveraging the strengths of computers such as speed and scale.”
AI will certainly advance in the next few years, but for now, research shows that machines still need human supervision in the field of video editing.
