Acceptans av text-till-bild genererat material i ett kommersiellt sammanhang : En studie om perspektiv på användande och bilder genererade med DALL·E 2

Sammanfattning: Tools using artificial intelligence are being developed at a rapid pace. One of these tools is the text-to-image generator DALL·E 2 which has been developed by OPEN-AI and is meant to generate images solely through text input. One of the problems with tools like these is that they are not as good at generating material as AI generators for speech or text are. As DALL·E 2 has been made available to be used for commercial purposes there is a need to evaluate whether the tool is good enough to be used for that purpose. The study was conducted through 3 focus groups with a total of 15 participants. The participants were 20 to 25 years old. During the focus groups, already generated images were discussed and they were allowed to test use of the tool themselves. The theoretical framework Technology Acceptance Model 2(TAM-2) was used to analyze the qualitative data according to its already established determining factors. The result of the study presents area of usage as a new extending factor for the perceived usefulness when using TAM-2 in a qualitative study. The conclusion is drawn that visual material created by DALL·E is not seen as accepted for use in a commercial purpose but its application within certain areas of usage could raise the perceived usefulness, and thereby acceptance.
