The task matters: The effect of perceived similarity to AI on intention to use in different task types

<p>With the development of AI technologies, especially generative AI (GAI) like ChatGPT, GAI is increasingly assisting people in various tasks. However, people may have different requirements for GAI when using it for different kinds of tasks. For instance, when brainstorming new ideas, people may want GAI to propose different ideas that supplement theirs with different problem-solving perspectives, but for decision-making tasks, they may prefer GAI adopt a similar problem-solving process with people to make a similar or even the same decision as they would.
