Finding Better Desing Metaphors for AI Assisted Writing Tools
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a ubiquitous part of modern life, influencing various sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, and transportation. Due to both the broad range of definitions of AI and the difficulty involved in explaining the behavior of contemporary LLMs, both public and practitioner’s understanding of AI are shaped heavily by conceptual metaphors to explain both the behavior and successful set of techniques which comprise contemporary AI systems. The broader goal of this research project is to gain a deeper understanding of what constitutes a successful AI metaphor in the context of AI-assisted writing tools.
I am actively recruiting undergraduates for this project. You can read more about the project here.
