Abstract
This study attempts to provide evidence that judgements based on rapid cognition can have higher accuracy than judgements based on rational thinking in particular situations. The design of the experiment was based on the previous study by Sun et al. 2022 that compared cognitive differences in artworks between artists and art style transfer. In the experiment of this paper, the stimuli were generated from 24 pairs of digital artworks done by AI and human painters respectively, and participants were asked to differentiate between the stimuli. The results indicated that participants made more correct choices when there was not enough time to process all the details than when there was enough time to consider all the evidence. This study once again demonstrates that rapid cognition holds advantages in analyzing complex information in a short period of time.
