Machine learning advances have afforded an increase in algorithms capable of
creating art, music, stories, games, and more. However, it is not yet
well-understood how machine learning algorithms might best collaborate with
people to support creative expression. To investigate how practicing designers
perceive the role of AI in the creative process, we developed a game level
design tool for Super Mario Bros.-style games with a built-in AI level
designer. In this paper we discuss our design of the Morai Maker intelligent
tool through two mixed-methods studies with a total of over one-hundred
participants. Our findings are as follows: (1) level designers vary in their
desired interactions with, and role of, the AI, (2) the AI prompted the level
designers to alter their design practices, and (3) the level designers
perceived the AI as having potential value in their design practice, varying
based on their desired role for the AI.

本文介绍了一个名为 Morai Maker 的基于超级马里奥兄弟风格游戏的 AI 智能设计工具，并通过两个混合方法研究总共超过 100 名参与者来讨论 AI 在创造过程中的作用及与人的合作方式。研究发现，设计师对与 AI 的交互和作用的期望存在差异，AI 使得设计师改变设计方式，设计师认为 AI 在其设计实践中具有潜在价值。
