The growing popularity of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots
such as ChatGPT is having transformative effects on social media. As the
prevalence of AI-generated content grows, concerns have been raised regarding
privacy and misinformation online. Among social media platforms, Discord
enables AI integrations -- making their primarily "Generation Z" userbase
particularly exposed to AI-generated content. We surveyed Generation Z aged
individuals (n = 335) to evaluate their proficiency in discriminating between
AI-generated and human-authored text on Discord. The investigation employed
one-shot prompting of ChatGPT, disguised as a text message received on the
Discord.com platform. We explore the influence of demographic factors on
ability, as well as participants' familiarity with Discord and artificial
intelligence technologies. We find that Generation Z individuals are unable to
discern between AI and human-authored text (p = 0.011), and that those with
lower self-reported familiarity with Discord demonstrated an improved ability
in identifying human-authored compared to those with self-reported experience
with AI (p << 0.0001). Our results suggest that there is a nuanced relationship
between AI technology and popular modes of communication for Generation Z,
contributing valuable insights into human-computer interactions, digital
communication, and artificial intelligence literacy.

探讨了社交媒体中生成式人工智能聊天机器人的普及对社交媒体产生的变革性影响，调查了 Generation Z 年龄段的个体对 Discord 上的 AI 生成和人为撰写的文本进行辨别的能力，并发现 Generation Z 个体无法区分 AI 生成和人为构造的文本，与 Discord 的熟悉程度和人工智能技术经验相关。结果表明，AI 技术和流行的通信方式之间存在微妙的关联，对人机交互、数字通信和人工智能素养提供了有价值的洞见。
