摘要

Abstract

This research is conducted in the context of the rapid development of AI in the modern era. We aim to analyze the visual attention of participants towards AI-generated images and traditional painting works using eye tracking technology. Additionally

we will conduct a questionnaire survey to further explore and compare the artistic qualities of the two types of artworks. The ultimate goal is to determine whether AI-generated works can potentially replace traditional painting works.
