This between-subjects study sought to assess the quality of date request text messages when individuals rely on AI for message construction. A total of 168 adults completed a date request message task where they were instructed to outsource the task to AI, modify the message from AI, or craft the message on their own (i.e. without outside help from AI). Results support what we describe as the Cyrano effect. Subjective perceptions of message quality did not vary by source; however, objective judges rated AI-generated messages as more effective, affiliative, and explicit than human messages. When accounting for message readability, human messages were rated by participants and objective judges as less effective than AI-generated messages at average and high readability. The findings from this study shed light on how AI can be used in relational communication. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
