چکیده

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) systems have increasingly been integrated into writing tools to enhance productivity, creativity, and accuracy. However, these systems often suffer from "hallucinations," where the AI generates incorrect or misleading information that appears plausible. This paper explores the design of interfaces aimed at mitigating such hallucinations, thereby enhancing the transparency and reliability of AI-assisted writing tools. The study contributes a framework that leverages user-centered design principles to reduce misinformation and improve user trust.

 

We propose a novel interface design that incorporates real-time feedback mechanisms, interactive transparency layers, and user control features. These design elements are hypothesized to enable users to better understand the AI's decision-making processes, increasing their ability to critically evaluate the generated content. By integrating visual cues and explanatory dialogues, the interface aims to illuminate the AI's reasoning pathways and the underlying data, thereby demystifying the AI's operations. Furthermore, user interaction data is leveraged to refine the AI's outputs, creating a feedback loop that continually enhances the system's accuracy.

 

Empirical evaluations were conducted using a mixed-methods approach, encompassing quantitative performance metrics and qualitative user feedback. The results demonstrate that users interacting with the proposed interface exhibit a significant reduction in the acceptance of hallucinated content, coupled with increased satisfaction and trust in the AI system. The findings underscore the importance of transparency and user agency in AI-human collaborative environments, suggesting pathways for future research.

 

This paper provides critical insights into the ethical and practical implications of deploying AI in creative processes, advocating for the development of responsible AI technologies. By addressing the challenge of hallucinations through interface design, this research contributes to the broader discourse on AI transparency and user empowerment in digital writing ecosystems.
