A Study on the Differences in AI-Generated Illustrations Across Different Professional Backgrounds

This study uses the Classic of Mountains and Seas as its subject matter to explore the differences between art design, literature, and computer science students when using Midjourney to generate illustrations. Through multidimensional scaling analysis and questionnaire surveys, the results show that illustrations generated by students from different majors form unique clustering regions in two-dimensional space, reflecting significant professional differences. Art design places greater emphasis on color and stylistic innovation, literature focuses more on narrative and cultural symbols, while computer science leans toward structural and logical expression. Although AI demonstrates strong potential in creativity and visual style, it still has limitations in accurately interpreting cultural symbols and mythological imagery. This study provides insights into the application of AI in artistic creation and highlights its potential and challenges in a multidisciplinary context.
