• Title: Understanding the Impact of AI Generated Content on Social Media: The Pixiv Case
• Authors: Yiluo Wei and Gareth Tyson
• Abstract summary: We present a comprehensive study of Pixiv, an online community for artists who wish to share and receive feedback on their illustrations. Based on a dataset of 15.2 million posts (including 2.4 million AI-generated images), we measure the impact of AIGC on the community. Our results offer key insight to how AIGC is changing the dynamics of social media platforms like Pixiv.

• Abstract: In the last two years, Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) has received significant attention, leading to an anecdotal rise in the amount of AIGC being shared via social media platforms. The impact of AIGC and its implications are of key importance to social platforms, e.g., regarding the implementation of policies, community formation, and algorithmic design. Yet, to date, we know little about how the arrival of AIGC has impacted the social media ecosystem. To fill this gap, we present a comprehensive study of Pixiv, an online community for artists who wish to share and receive feedback on their illustrations. Pixiv hosts over 100 million artistic submissions and receives more than 1 billion page views per month (as of 2023). Importantly, it allows both human and AI generated content to be uploaded. Exploiting this, we perform the first analysis of the impact that AIGC has had on the social media ecosystem, through the lens of Pixiv. Based on a dataset of 15.2 million posts (including 2.4 million AI-generated images), we measure the impact of AIGC on the Pixiv community, as well as the differences between AIGC and human-generated content in terms of content creation and consumption patterns. Our results offer key insight to how AIGC is changing the dynamics of social media platforms like Pixiv.

  We conducted a field experiment on a short-video platform in Asia to provide about 1 million users access to AI-generated titles for their uploaded videos. Our findings show that the provision of AI-generated titles significantly boosted content consumption, increasing valid watches by 1.6% and watch duration by 0.9%. This viewership-boost effect was largely attributed to the use of this generative AI (GAI) tool increasing the likelihood of videos having a title by 41.4%.

  We take steps towards examining the potential impact of AI-generated content on art-related communities on Reddit. We look at image-based posts made to these communities that are transparently created by AI, or comments in these communities that suspect authors of using generative AI. We show that AI content is more readily used by newcomers and may help increase participation if it aligns with community rules.

  generative AI (AIGC, a.k.a AI-generated content) has made headlines everywhere because of its ability to analyze and create text, images, and beyond. In the era of AI transitioning from pure analysis to creation, it is worth noting that ChatGPT, with its most recent language model GPT-4, is just a tool out of numerous AIGC tasks. This work focuses on the technological development of various AIGC tasks based on their output type, including text, images, videos, 3D content, etc.

We infer the leaning of users about controversial topics and reconstruct their interaction networks by analyzing different features. We find support for the hypothesis that platforms implementing news feed algorithms like Facebook may elicit the emergence of echo-chambers.
