Wordcraft: a Human-AI Collaborative Editor for Story Writing (2107.07430v1)

Abstract: As neural LLMs grow in effectiveness, they are increasingly being applied in real-world settings. However these applications tend to be limited in the modes of interaction they support. In this extended abstract, we propose Wordcraft, an AI-assisted editor for story writing in which a writer and a dialog system collaborate to write a story. Our novel interface uses few-shot learning and the natural affordances of conversation to support a variety of interactions. Our editor provides a sandbox for writers to probe the boundaries of transformer-based LLMs and paves the way for future human-in-the-loop training pipelines and novel evaluation methods.
