Language models have recently been able to generate text fluently, producing new stochastic narratives upon request. However, effectively integrating such capabilities with human cognitive faculties and creative processes remains challenging. We propose to investigate this integration with a multimodal writing support interface that offers writing suggestions textually, visually, and aurally. We conduct an extensive study that combines elicitation of prior expectations before writing, observation and semi-structured interviews during writing, and outcome evaluations after writing. Our results illustrate individual and situational variation in machine-in-the-loop writing approaches, suggestion acceptance, and ways the system is helpful. Centrally, we report how participants perform integrative leaps, by which they do cognitive work to integrate suggestions of varying semantic relevance into their developing stories. We interpret these findings, offering modeling and design recommendations for future creative writing support technologies. 1",

                "text": "Much remains unexplored about how emerging methods in AI, machine learning, and natural language processing might influence creative writing, in part due to the ambiguity and variability of human writing processes. These processes go beyond the linear projection from idea to a full text; research shows how planning narratives, translating ideas into visible textual material, and reviewing are all happening and interacting throughout the process rather than simple sequential stages (Nold, 1981; Flower and Hayes, 1981) . However, this is a very familiar process for humans when communicating through writing; as every writer knows, having good ideas does not automatically produce a good text progression. The need for that \"good idea\" to be anchored and developed so that the reader can be invested takes a great deal of effort. In today's world, language generation models like GPT-2 (Radford et al., 2019) , GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020) , and new ones coming down the line are typically silent on the inner processes of negotiation and decision that a human writer is working through. Additionally, contributions from these systems might take forms to influence writing other than text; writers are able to engage multiple perceptual channels through their work: they may activate multisensory imagination through evocative imagery, invoking auditory and olfactory phenomena, and other forms of sensory description.",

We examine and report in detail how participants receive, consider, and integrate suggestions from an intelligent tool into their writing. We explore prominent axes of individual and situational variation in these integrative behaviors, noting the different kinds of \"leaps\" participants make to understand suggestions and make the necessary compositional decisions to incorporate new information contained in them, ranging from copying and pasting to re-writing core aspects of their entire story.",
