one thing i always find interesting is that compared to mass surrender photos and videos in wwii like the fall of france or singapore or whatever, or even battlefield capture like d-day, most of the pow photos and videos in wwi have little to no visible animosity in the faces of the prisoners or their guards. i wont go so far as to assert any hidden relief at being removed from the trench war, there isnt enough evidence based solely on expressions for that, but the conduct between the 2 groups always seems to put a humanitarian goal over everything else
I'm not sure I'd go so far as saying they were humanitarians above all else, but it's broadly true the PoW experience (at least on the Western Front) was comparatively humane compared to WW2. But even that's hardly universal.
It's also worth noting that recent historical work on the topic of PoWs in WW1 is starting to break down some of that idea as well. Heather Jones book on violence against PoWs in WW1 re-opened the question and other historians, particularly John Horne, have joined in the reassessment. What they've found is quite a bit worse, although maybe less sensational.
Short answer is: If you made it off a Western Front battlefield alive (and lots were killed while surrendering), you had a pretty good chance of surviving the war in a PoW camp. Conditions were still pretty bad and the death toll, mostly from disease, averaged about 5-7% on both sides.
Outside of the Western Front it got a lot worse. The usual drivers of racial, cultural and religious hatred had a lot to do with it, but Germans in Russian captivity and anyone in Ottoman captivity died in their tens of thousands. Sometimes of incompetence, but often by purposeful neglect and sometimes outright massacre.
