Zusammenfassung: | In each step of the creative writing process, writers must grapple with their
creative goals and individual perspectives. This process affects the writer's
sense of authenticity and their engagement with the written output. Fluent text
generation by AIs risks undermining the reflective loop of rewriting. We
hypothesize that deliberately generating imperfect intermediate text can
encourage rewriting and prompt higher level decision making. Using logs from 27
writing sessions using a text generation AI, we characterize how writers adapt
and rewrite AI suggestions, and show that intermediate suggestions
significantly motivate and increase rewriting. We discuss the implications of
this finding, and future steps for investigating how to leverage intermediate
text in AI writing support tools to support ownership over creative expression. |
