Artificial Intelligence (AI), collaborative fiction, computational creativity, human-AI co-creationAbstract
This study explores the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in collaborative fiction writing. It mainly focuses on the way tools such as ChatGPT support human creativity, authorship, and emotional engagement. The study analyses user experiences with AI in narrative. Primary quantitative data were collected via an online survey administered to 151 participants. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and analysed statistically using SPSS. Key findings from the research reveal that people view Artificial Intelligence as a helpful partner in boosting productivity and generating new ideas. While users still value human creativity and make edits to the content generated by AI, they still strongly believe in AI’s functionality, ethical impact, and future acceptance. The study highlights a shift toward human AI co-authorship as a promising, emotionally engaging, and creatively supportive practice.
