Visual depiction of the poetry interface in the co-creator human-AI condition (Study 2). The participant begins by writing the first line of the poem (a). After selecting the ‘update’ button on the right-hand side, the poetry generation system returns the second line of the poem (b). The option to select alternative lines is reflected in the feature ‘select candidate verse’ and participants can directly edit the line by clicking on the line. Once satisfied, the participant can write the third line of the poem in the entry below (c). This iterative process continues until the participant co-creates an 8-line poem consisting of 2 stanzas (2 × 4 lines).
