Abstract

In this study, we investigated whether interactions with generative AI can enhance learners’ interest during human learning processes. Thirty-six university students participated in an experiment where they read psychology-related columns and were assigned to all three intervention conditions: sharing impressions with an attentive generative AI, sharing impressions with an inattentive generative AI, or writing impressions alone. Emotional interest (preference for the topic) and cognitive interest (perception of the topic’s value) were measured before and after the intervention. Results indicated that interacting with an attentive AI significantly increased both emotional and cognitive interest in the topic.
