Collage is the New Writing: Exploring the Fragmentation of Text and User Interfaces in AI Tools

本论文提出了并探讨了拼贴(Collage)在AI写作工具设计中的概念,从荒诞文学出发,具有四个方面:1)在写作界面中拆分文本,2)对比声音(内容与命令),3)整合多个来源的素材(例如文本建议),4)从手动写作转向编辑和组合决策,如选择和排列片段。论文接着运用Collage作为分析透视来分析最近AI写作工具的用户界面设计,又把它当作一种鼓舞创新设计方向的力量。最后,一种批判性观点把历史上作家通过文学拼贴表达的关注与AI写作工具的设计理论联系起来。从更广阔的视角来看,本文探讨了文学概念如何帮助推动关于AI写作工具的设计理论。它鼓励未来的写作工具创作者不仅关注新的技术可能性,而且还要关注过去的写作创新。

This essay proposes and explores the concept of Collage for the design of AI writing tools, transferred from avant-garde literature with four facets: 1) fragmenting text in writing interfaces, 2) juxtaposing voices (content vs command), 3) integrating material from multiple sources (e.g. text suggestions), and 4) shifting from manual writing to editorial and compositional decision-making, such as selecting and arranging snippets. The essay then employs Collage as an analytical lens to analyse the user interface design of recent AI writing tools, and as a constructive lens to inspire new design directions. Finally, a critical perspective relates the concerns that writers historically expressed through literary collage to AI writing tools. In a broad view, this essay explores how literary concepts can help advance design theory around AI writing tools. It encourages creators of future writing tools to engage not only with new technological possibilities, but also with past writing innovations.
