title: Survey of User Interface Design and Interaction Techniques in Generative
    AI Applications
summary: The applications of generative AI have become extremely impressive, and the
  interplay between users and AI is even more so. Current human-AI interaction
  literature has taken a broad look at how humans interact with generative AI,
  but it lacks specificity regarding the user interface designs and patterns used
  to create these applications. Therefore, we present a survey that
  comprehensively presents taxonomies of how a human interacts with AI and the
  user interaction patterns designed to meet the needs of a variety of relevant
  use cases. We focus primarily on user-guided interactions, surveying
  interactions that are initiated by the user and do not include any implicit
  signals given by the user. With this survey, we aim to create a compendium of
  different user-interaction patterns that can be used as a reference for
  designers and developers alike. In doing so, we also strive to lower the entry
  barrier for those attempting to learn more about the design of generative AI
  applications.
