About

AI has made significant advancements in image generation. Future AI image generation software will no longer require prompts and can generate images through natural language interaction. This raises a potential issue: users may struggle to express their creative vision clearly, and AI may face challenges of homogenization.

This research project explores how AI can help users refine and express their creativity through a question-driven interaction process. By engaging users in a dialogue where AI asks probing questions, it helps them think more deeply and clarify their intentions.

The research goal is to shift the creative process from being AI-dominated due to vague user requirements to a user-led creative system, where AI acts as an inquisitor and facilitator, helping users reflect and refine their ideas.

Zizhuo Bao is an interaction designer specializing in design innovation and research, focusing on the development of future AI-driven creative tools.
