Why AI systems are most useful as designers of new scientific tools
The article discusses the benefits of using AI systems to design new scientific tools.
AI as Friction for Reflection Support in Ideation
The authors suggest that AI tools used for creative work, designed to reduce friction, may not be ideal as they overlook an essential aspect of the design process: reflection-in-action during ideation. They propose…
Thinkink: 2D Spatial Ink-native Interaction with LLMs
The researchers propose Thinkink, a tool that allows users to interact with large language models (LLMs) using handwritten text or sketches on a shared canvas. The tool uses a semantic tree for ink interpretation and a…
Creativity from Friction: Human-AI Interaction for Exploratory Structural Design
This research discusses the limitations of current AI systems in creative fields like architecture and structural design, which often require exploratory and iterative processes. The authors propose a new approach for…
Creativity from Friction: Human-AI Interaction for Exploratory Structural Design
This research discusses the limitations of AI agents in creative fields, focusing on structural design and architecture. The paper proposes that interactive systems that help users explore alternatives and refine…
Reasoning effort, not tool access, buys first-try reliability in agentic code generation: an observational study
A study examined the impact of additional capabilities on agentic coding assistants in terms of software quality and reliability. The results showed that while high-tier models performed well, a low-cost local model…
