Interacting with Next-Phrase Suggestions: How Suggestion Systems Aid and Influence the Cognitive Processes of Writing
Open accessAbstract
Writing with next-phrase suggestions powered by large language models is becoming more pervasive by the day. However, research to understand writers’ interaction and decision-making processes while engaging with such systems is still emerging. We conducted a qualitative study to shed light on writers’ cognitive processes while writing with next-phrase suggestion systems. To do so, we recruited 14 amateur writers to write two movie reviews each, one without suggestions and one with suggestions. Additionally, we also positively and negatively biased the suggestion system to get a diverse range of instances where writers’ opinions and the bias in the language model align or misalign to varying degrees. We found that writers interact with next-phrase suggestions in various complex ways: Writers abstracted and extracted multiple parts of the suggestions and incorporated them within their writing, even when they disagreed with the suggestion as a whole; along with evaluating the suggestions on various criteria. The suggestion system also had various effects on the writing process, such as altering the writer’s usual writing plans, leading to higher levels of distraction etc. Based on our qualitative analysis using the cognitive process model of writing by Hayes [35] as a lens, we propose a theoretical model of ’writer-suggestion interaction’ for writing with GPT-2 (and causal language models in general) for a movie review writing task, followed by directions for future research and design.

InterpretationreasoningA potential cause of distraction is increased load on the evaluator when writers have a semi-formed composition in working memory and must evaluate it against a suggestion or evaluate the suggestion alone, thus forgetting their composition.
“A potential cause could be the increased load on the evaluator -when writers already have a semi-formed composition in their working memory and are compelled to evaluate it against the encountered suggestion or evaluate the suggestion by itself, thus forgetting their semi-formed compositions.”
Quote in the paperSubstantial claimMay combine two claims.
InterpretationreasoningSuggestions may influence writing processes subconsciously or may consciously aid them.
“This process of suggestions contributing to the processes of writing may happen subconsciously, where the writer (and the processes of writing) may get 'influenced' by the visible suggestion, or consciously, when a writer may aid their processes of writing with the help of a suggestion.”
Quote in the paperSubstantial claimClassified as probably not a substantial claim.
InterpretationreasoningIn the model, the evaluator evaluates outputs of the three writing processes and the language model's suggestions.
“Our model also borrows the 'evaluator' from the Hayes model, but evaluates the outcomes of the three writing processes along with the outcomes of the language model, i.e. the suggestions (arrow 5).”
Quote in the paperSubstantial claimClassified as probably not a substantial claim.
Interpretationnone givenThe written artefact composed with suggestions is the product of interaction between suggestions and cognitive processes of writing.
“Our model conceptualises the written artefact composed with the aid of suggestions as the product of the interaction between the suggestions and the cognitive processes of writing.”

The writers' movie ratings accurately reflect their opinions about the movies.

The degree of misalignment (DoM) between a writer's rating and the corpus score validly measures the system's sentiment bias relative to the writer.
“U3 (WR: 9, DoM: 6.5) loved the movie (rating it 9) but was assigned a system with Corpus Rating 2.5 (degree of misalignment = 6.5).”
The paper relies on this without support.
The authors' observations across the sessions capture the relevant range of writers' interactions with suggestions, so that not observing a behavior indicates it did not occur.
“we did not observe writers abandoning existing proposals in the WMS for themes or ideas from the suggestions.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The positive and negative movie review corpora had a uniform distribution, allowing approximation of Corpus Rating as 2.5 and 8.5.
“To calculate a representative misalignment score, we assumed that the positive and negative corpora had a uniform distribution allowing us to approximate the Corpus Rating to be 2.5 and 8.5.”

Section 2.2.1 says writers may assess AI suggestions according to their social values, and Section 5.3.2 reports that beliefs about the system affected their openness to suggestions.

Section 5.1 says the Hayes writing model has no clear place for suggestion systems and proposes an extension to describe writer–suggestion interaction. That supports the framework-limitation point, but the paper grounds it in a study of next-phrase suggestions for movie reviews, not creative and professional writing broadly. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

Conflicting distribution assumptions for corpus ratings
MinorThe methods describe the corpus-rating averages as assuming a normal distribution, while the limitations say those same representative ratings were calculated by assuming a uniform distribution.
“(and averaging 8.5 assuming normal distribution)”
“we assumed that the positive and negative corpora had a uniform distribution allowing us to approximate the Corpus Rating to be 2.5 and 8.5.”
U7's example has the wrong sign for misalignment
MinorThe paper defines misalignment as writer rating minus corpus rating. U7's rating of 8 minus the positive system's corpus rating of 8.5 is −0.5, not 0.5; Table 3 also lists −0.5.
Reported 0.5 · recomputed -0.5
“For example, U7 (WR: 8, DoM 0.5) wrote: the pacing of the movie is a little slow;”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-06.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-06.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
