Creativity Support in the Age of Large Language Models: An Empirical Study Involving Emerging Writers
CoRR(2023)
摘要
The development of large language models (LLMs) capable of following
instructions and engaging in conversational interactions sparked increased
interest in their utilization across various support tools. We investigate the
utility of modern LLMs in assisting professional writers via an empirical user
study (n=30). The design of our collaborative writing interface is grounded in
the cognitive process model of writing that views writing as a goal-oriented
thinking process encompassing non-linear cognitive activities: planning,
translating, and reviewing. Participants are asked to submit a post-completion
survey to provide feedback on the potential and pitfalls of LLMs as writing
collaborators. Upon analyzing the writer-LLM interactions, we find that while
writers seek LLM's help across all three types of cognitive activities, they
find LLMs more helpful in translation and reviewing. Our findings from
analyzing both the interactions and the survey responses highlight future
research directions in creative writing assistance using LLMs.
