How Interaction Modalities Influence Academic Co-Writing With Generative Artificial Intelligence, Peter Dalsgaard
IASDR Conference Series
This paper investigates how interaction modalities, specifically text-based versus speech-based interfaces, influence the experience and outcomes of academic co-writing with generative AI (GenAI). Drawing on distributed and situated cognition and human-AI creativity studies, I argue that modality is a structuring force in how ideas emerge, evolve, and stabilize in academic writing. Text-based interaction supports branching exploration, comparative revision, and temporal layering, enabling asynchronous control and persistent visual memory. In contrast, speech-based interaction facilitates associative thinking and spontaneous ideation, offering immediacy and flow. However, it can limit memory offloading, structural manipulation, and cross-comparison. I synthesize findings from related work in HCI, …
