This study examined whether embedding LLM-guided reflection prompts in an interactive AI-generated podcast improved learning and user experience compared to a version without prompts. Thirty-six undergraduates participated, and while…
Generative AI is reshaping education, yet most university AI policies are written without students and focus on penalizing misuse. This top-down approach sidelines those most affected from decisions that shape their everyday learning,…
Creativity is the ability to produce novel, useful, and surprising ideas, and has been widely studied as a crucial aspect of human cognition. Machine creativity on the other hand has been a long-standing challenge. With the rise of advanced…
This paper considers how interactions with AI algorithms can boost human creative thought. We employ a psychological task that demonstrates limits on human creativity, namely semantic feature generation: given a concept name, respondents…
Generative AI helps users solve problems more efficiently, but without leaving a public trace. Fewer discussions and solutions reach public platforms, and the archives that future problem-solvers depend on can shrink. We build a dynamic…
Generative AI models offer many possibilities for text creation and transformation. Current graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for prompting them lack support for iterative exploration, as they do not represent prompts as actionable interface…
Challenges to reproducibility and replicability have gained widespread attention, driven by large replication projects with lukewarm success rates. A nascent work has emerged developing algorithms to estimate the replicability of published…
The emergence of Generative AI features in news applications may radically change news consumption and challenge journalistic practices. To explore the future potentials and risks of this understudied area, we created six design fictions…
In a stylized voting model, we establish that increasing the share of critical thinkers -- individuals who are aware of the ambivalent nature of a certain issue -- in the population increases the efficiency of surveys (elections) but might…
Since the emergence of generative AI, creative workers have spoken up about the career-based harms they have experienced arising from this new technology. A common theme in these accounts of harm is that generative AI models are trained on…
We study the staggered introduction of a generative AI-based conversational assistant using data from 5,172 customer support agents. Access to AI assistance increases worker productivity, as measured by issues resolved per hour, by 15\% on…
Writing longer prompts for an AI assistant to generate a short story increases psychological ownership, a user's feeling that the writing belongs to them. To encourage users to write longer prompts, we evaluated two interaction techniques…
Generative AI models are increasingly being integrated into human task workflows, enabling the production of expressive content across a wide range of contexts. Unlike traditional human-AI design methods, the new approach to designing…
AI writing tools have been shown to dramatically change the way people write, yet the effects of AI text presentation are not well understood nor always intentionally designed. Although text presentation in existing large language model…
The impact of large language models (LLMs) on critical thinking has provoked growing attention, yet this impact on actual performance may not be uniformly negative or positive. Particularly, the role of time -- the temporal context under…
Hundreds of millions of people use artificial intelligence (AI) for writing assistance. Here, we evaluated how AI writing assistance distorts writer personas - their perceived beliefs, personality, and identity. In three large-scale…
Calls to use open generative language models in academic research have highlighted the need for reproducibility and transparency in scientific research. However, the impact of generative AI extends well beyond academia, as corporations and…
Although recent developments in generative AI have greatly enhanced the capabilities of conversational agents such as Google's Gemini (formerly Bard) or OpenAI's ChatGPT, it's unclear whether the usage of these agents aids users across…
Recent critiques of Artificial-intelligence (AI)-generated visual content highlight concerns about the erosion of artistic originality, as these systems often replicate patterns from their training datasets, leading to significant…
Various studies have studied the impact of Generative AI on Computing Education. However, they have focused on the implications for novice programmers. In this experience report, we analyze the use of GenAI as a support tool for learning,…
