This essay proposes and explores the concept of Collage for the design of AI
writing tools, transferred from avant-garde literature with four facets: 1)
fragmenting text in writing interfaces, 2) juxtaposing voices (content vs
command), 3) integrating material from multiple sources (e.g. text
suggestions), and 4) shifting from manual writing to editorial and
compositional decision-making, such as selecting and arranging snippets. The
essay then employs Collage as an analytical lens to analyse the user interface
design of recent AI writing tools, and as a constructive lens to inspire new
design directions. Finally, a critical perspective relates the concerns that
writers historically expressed through literary collage to AI writing tools. In
a broad view, this essay explores how literary concepts can help advance design
theory around AI writing tools. It encourages creators of future writing tools
to engage not only with new technological possibilities, but also with past
writing innovations.

这篇论文提出并探索了以拼贴艺术为设计概念的人工智能写作工具，重点是通过把文本碎片化、声音对立、多源材料整合和选择与排列片段等方式，分析最近的 AI 写作工具的用户界面设计，并通过创造性的眼光激发新的设计方向，同时将历史上作家们通过文学拼贴所表达的关切与 AI 写作工具联系起来，探索了如何借鉴文学概念来推进 AI 写作工具的设计理论，鼓励未来的写作工具创作者不仅要关注新技术的可能性，还要关注过去的写作创新。
