8/8 Curious? Skeptical? Inspired? Read the preprint here: drive.google.com/file/d/1QOBj... Or reach out if you want to discuss how ambiguity and tension might be designed into GenAI tools—not just engineered out of them. #ECCE2025 #GenAI #Creativity #HCI #DesignResearch #dkforsk

7/8 This work contributes to ongoing HCI and creativity research by shifting the conversation: From “How do we reduce surprise?” To “What kinds of surprise are worth staying with?”

6/8 The takeaway: Rather than designing GenAI tools for perfect alignment, we should explore how to design for productive friction—interactions that provoke users to think, reflect, and reframe.

5/8 The theoretical part builds on: Cognitive dissonance (Festinger) Frame conflict (Goffman, Schön) Predictive error (Clark) Together, they explain how misalignment becomes a driver of insight—not just a disruption.

4/8 These aren’t just abstract ideas. I analyze five examples of how this plays out across: ✍️ Writing (ChatGPT) 🎨 Visual design (Midjourney) 🎵 Music (AIVA) 💻 Coding (Copilot) 🧰 Product prototyping (Fusion 360) Each case shows how “getting it wrong” can reveal new possibilities.

3/8 The paper introduces two core ideas: Creative ambiguity: when AI output is open-ended, contradictory, or off-mark in suggestive ways Cognitive tension: when that output clashes with your expectations, creating a moment of interpretive pressure

2/8 We often treat GenAI hallucinations or unexpected outputs as bugs. But in creative work, they can be features: points of friction that prompt reinterpretation, redirection, and conceptual expansion.

🧵 1/8 When AI gets it “wrong” – and that’s exactly the point. Thrilled to share that my paper Creative Ambiguity and Cognitive Tension in Generative AI Tools has been accepted for ECCE 2025. It’s about how misalignment between human intent and AI output can fuel creativity. @au.dk #hci #creativity

Når #GenAI som fx Google AI Overview skaber nyhedsoverblikket, ændres spillereglerne for #dkmedier & indholdsproducenter. Færre clicks > færre indtægter. Måske er tiden kommet til at udvikle danske AI-overbliksservices på vores præmisser? #dkmedier #dkforsk @au.dk www.linkedin.com/pulse/n%C3%A...

🎨🧠 How do creatives really capture ideas on the fly? New TOCHI paper finds idea capture for creative practitioners is fast, messy, and wildly different across creative domains. ⚡Yet all prioritize capturing ideas quickly, even if it disrupts order. 📄 Read the full paper: doi.org/10.1145/3727...

Hvis @theatlantic.com har ret, har Meta – med verdens næstrigeste mand, Mark Zuckerberg, i spidsen – brugt ulovligt kopierede bøger og artikler til at træne AI-modeller. Med åbne øjne. Uden at spørge. Uden at kompensere forfatterne. 1/2 www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... @au.dk #dkforsk #forskpol

Thrilled that our paper "Micro-Phenomenology as a Method for Studying User Experience in Human-Computer Interaction" is accepted for #chi2025. It is the culmination of extensive cross-disciplinary collaboration with Katrin Heimann, Minke Nouwens and Suneetha Saggurthi that started five years ago.

OpenAI - dem med ChatGPT - benytter sig som mange andre big tech firmaer af lavtlønnet arbejdskraft i udviklingslande, når de skal træne og udvikle deres #AI modeller. Arbejdsforholdene er ofte dybt kritisable, som beskrevet her:

Massively enjoyed this morning’s @ozchi.bsky.social keynote by Paul Dourish on what comes after #HCI. On why #AI is not the answer (and maybe even the antithesis), and a call to consider why we have strayed from the ambitions of eg Engelbart (to augment human intellect) & Nelson (to save the world!)

Participants expressed curiosity about the AI tools and appreciated their intuitive alignment with existing workflows, but rarely adopted AI-generated ideas directly, using them more for inspiration.

Peter Dalsgaard @peterdalsgaard.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Our findings show that AI-supported teams generated more ideas and achieved higher novelty but at the expense of appropriateness, revealing a trade-off in creative outcomes. AI tools were particularly useful for fostering divergent thinking during moments of creative impasse. >

Peter Dalsgaard @peterdalsgaard.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

In the paper, we explore how generative AI software impacts collaborative creativity, specifically idea generation. In a controlled study with our custom-made collaborative tool, 36 participants worked in pairs, with half using AI features to support sense-making, divergent and convergent thinking >
