Abstract. The proposed article examines high school students’ ability to differentiate between a text generated by artificial intelligence and a literary work by Bulgarian author Petya Dubarova. The survey was conducted among 8th, 9th, and 11th graders at the Vocational High School of Mechano-Electrical Engineering and Electronics in Burgas, using Dubarova’s poem “Expelled from Class” as the original text. Two additional texts produced by two versions of ChatGPT were also included in the study. The article provides a brief overview of the knowledge students should acquire from studying artistic style, which forms the basis for presenting the expected and achieved results of comparing the original text with the AI-generated texts.
