Subject Area: Clinical Science

This empirical study developed 27 videos that were either human-created or AI-generated in an effort to examine preference for mental health content across three social media platforms. Findings suggest a preference for human-made content among social media users, possibly explained by the often impersonal and inauthentic nature of AI-generated content.
