Authors' Values and Attitudes Towards AI-Bridged Scalable Personalization of Creative Language Arts Generative AI has the potential to create a new form of interactive media: AI-bridged creative language arts (CLA), which bridge the author and audience by personalizing the author's vision to the audience's context and taste at scale. However, it is unclear what the authors' values and attitudes would be regarding AI-bridged CLA. To identify these values and attitudes, we conducted an interview study with 18 authors across eight genres (e.g., poetry, comics) by presenting speculative but realistic AI-bridged CLA scenarios. We identified three benefits derived from the dynamics between author, artifact, and audience: those that 1) authors get from the process, 2) audiences get from the artifact, and 3) authors get from the audience. We found how AI-bridged CLA would either promote or reduce these benefits, along with authors' concerns. We hope our investigation hints at how AI can provide intriguing experiences to CLA audiences while promoting authors' values. The study explores the potential of AI-bridged CLA, which uses AI models as an intermediary between authors and audiences. Authors convey their artistic vision to AI models, which then present personalized versions of the vision to the audience at scale, according to the audience's contexts and tastes. The study investigates how AI-bridged CLA could impact the dynamics between author and audience, and the potential benefits and concerns of authors. The authors identified three types of benefits: 1) benefits authors get from the process (e.g., joy, therapeutic effect, attachment), 2) benefits audiences get from the artifact (e.g., empathy to the artifact, entertainment), and 3) benefits authors get from the audience (e.g., resonation from the audience, monetary reward). The authors expected AI-bridged CLA to impact these dynamics and benefits. For example, authors with high attachment to their own artifacts worried that AI might distort their intentions in the artifact. These authors often value the audience's appreciation of the author's unique characteristics in the artifact and worry that AI might convey distorted content to audiences. On the other hand, many other authors were okay with AI transforming aspects that are not core to their attachment, and acknowledged that AI-bridged CLA can add benefits, such as making the artifact more understandable and entertaining to the audience while increasing empathy and monetary reward authors get from the audience. The study also discusses potential approaches to support the creation and distribution of AI-bridged CLA and challenges and opportunities of AI-bridged CLA. The authors' concerns and expectations are discussed in detail, including the potential for AI to provide intriguing experiences to CLA audiences while promoting authors' values. The study highlights the importance of understanding authors' values and attitudes towards AI-bridged CLA, and the potential for AI to enhance the creative language arts experience.Authors' Values and Attitudes Towards AI-Bridged Scalable Personalization of Creative Language Arts Generative AI has the potential to create a new form of interactive media: AI-bridged creative language arts (CLA), which bridge the author and audience by personalizing the author's vision to the audience's context and taste at scale.
