Abstract

The increasing use of artificial intelligence and its generation of images has had a significant impact on our communicative practices. This way of relating to images requires a series of competencies associated with visual literacy. This study analyses the competence of people to detect images created by algorithms using Stable Diffusion. A comparative study was conducted with 132 individuals, selected by discretionary sampling according to their familiarity with J.R.R. Tolkien's transmedia universe, to determine whether their prior knowledge of the imagery of an image condition their ability to detect its origin. The results show that those under 25 possess better visual literacy skills, regardless of their familiarity with the image. It is concluded that there is a need to improve the visual literacy of those over 25 years of age so that they can identify and critically evaluate this type of images, especially in cases of misuse.
