ABSTRACT
This paper presents ISOTTA (Intelligent System for Organic Tweeting and Thoughtful Artistry), an unconventional artifact aimed at investigating creative writing with Large Language Models. ISOTTA embodies slow technology principles to highlight the productivity disparities between humans and computers and foster a discussion on the resulting implications. ISOTTA provokes critical reflections along the continuum between collaboration and competition in Human-AI interaction in creative endeavors and beyond. These insights mainly address power dynamics regulating the sharing of resources between humans and machines.
