# PWR-195 — AI-assisted creativity: learner worksheet Release: Revision 7T · Full Tutorial Edition Estimated time: Estimated 31 min reading and worksheet pass Difficulty: Intermediate Equipment: Common household or practice equipment — Declared AI-assisted creativity fixture: Design a fictional library bookmark that helps readers find the returns desk. The learner sketches three human-first concepts, then asks AI for six text-only variations.; Setup aid for Create human-first options: Exclude requests to imitate living artists, copy protected brands or expose confidential work.; AI-assisted creativity log: Blinded novelty/usefulness, corpus diversity, provenance, human contribution, time and delayed unaided performance; retain AI-assisted creativity errors, assistance, stop and fallback.; Creativity evidence ledger: record ownership and meaning outcomes from “Relying on AI at work reduces self-efficacy, ownership, and meaning while active collaboration mitigates the effects”. Add individual novelty and collective-diversity outcomes from “Generative AI enhances individual creativity but reduces the collective diversity of novel content”. Use the NIST Generative AI Profile to document prompt, output, selection and provenance for the bookmark.; Exact bounded-generation prompt: “Create six one-sentence, text-only concepts for a 55×180 mm fictional library bookmark that directs a first-time visitor from the entrance to Returns Desk 1. Vary the navigation mechanism or wording, keep print readable, use no brand, artist, copyrighted character or personal data, and label outputs V1–V6. Do not score them.” Record the model/version and this prompt verbatim.; Fixed captured-output pack when no approved AI is available: V1 a large arrow reading “Returns → Desk 1”. V2 a dotted arrow trail ending at “Desk 1”. V3 a three-shelf mini-map with Desk 1 circled. V4 stacked arrows saying “entrance, shelves, returns”. V5 the question “Returns”? followed by “Follow shelf numbers to Desk 1”. V6 a floor-line metaphor ending at a desk icon. These are inputs to cluster and score, not endorsed answers. Space: Desk / seated Automated structural checklist: 10 of 10 structural checks present Evidence quality/context: G1; Detailed research depth Automated method-quality band: Comprehensive Method-rating basis: Structure coverage, instruction/check specificity, alternative distinctness, source troubleshooting, comparison depth and whether purpose/check fields are authored rather than derived. Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context Begin the library-bookmark task with three human sketches, then use the supplied prompt to request six constrained text variations. Track provenance, remove near-duplicates, select through the rubric and produce a fresh bookmark idea later without AI. A traceable selected design is the result; output volume alone is not creativity. Target outcome: The learner creates ideas before AI exposure, requests constrained variations, selects with a blinded rubric, checks provenance and later produces a new idea unaided. ### Authority and setup conditions - Use a harmless fictional brief and material you own or may reuse. - Exclude requests to imitate living artists, copy protected brands or expose confidential work. - Start check for AI-assisted creativity: The brief can reject a pretty but unusable idea. - Top-of-sheet stop for AI-assisted creativity: Stop if provenance, licence or source status cannot be determined. ### Required or supplied materials - Declared AI-assisted creativity fixture: Design a fictional library bookmark that helps readers find the returns desk.

V2 a dotted arrow trail ending at “Desk 1”. V3 a three-shelf mini-map with Desk 1 circled. V4 stacked arrows saying “entrance, shelves, returns”. V5 the question “Returns”? followed by “Follow shelf numbers to Desk 1”. V6 a floor-line metaphor ending at a desk icon. These are inputs to cluster and score, not endorsed answers. - Rubric and delayed prompt: score clarity, usefulness and distinctiveness from 0=misses the brief, 1=partly meets it, 2=clearly meets it; total 0–6 and record origin only after scoring. After 48 hours without AI, design three concepts for a wallet-size sign directing a visitor from an elevator to an accessible restroom using only words and simple shapes. ## 1. Define the design need Write user, function, constraints and a three-part rubric: clarity, usefulness and distinctiveness. Why: The brief can reject a pretty but unusable idea. Success check: The brief can reject a pretty but unusable idea. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Write user, function, constraints and a three-part rubric: clarity, usefulness and distinctiveness.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The brief can reject a pretty but unusable idea.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Create human-first options Make three rough concepts before opening the AI and label the parts you authored. Why: A human contribution baseline and range are preserved. Success check: A human contribution baseline and range are preserved. Accessible alternative: Complete “Make three rough concepts before opening the AI and label the parts you authored.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “A human contribution baseline and range are preserved.” Use spoken ideation, collage, tactile sketching or a scribe; score the concept against the same brief. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Request bounded variation Give the brief and ask for six alternatives that vary layout or wording, not copied brands or living artists’ styles. Why: Outputs address the same need and avoid imitation requests. Success check: Outputs address the same need and avoid imitation requests. Accessible alternative: Complete “Give the brief and ask for six alternatives that vary layout or wording, not copied brands or living artists’ styles.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Outputs address the same need and avoid imitation requests.” Limit visible options to three at a time to reduce overload while preserving human-first generation. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Record provenance Save prompt, model/version, output IDs, edits and any source material used. Why: Another reviewer can trace what came from whom. Success check: Another reviewer can trace what came from whom. Accessible alternative: Complete “Save prompt, model/version, output IDs, edits and any source material used.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Another reviewer can trace what came from whom.” Use spoken ideation, collage, tactile sketching or a scribe; score the concept against the same brief. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Cluster for similarity Group concepts that share the same metaphor, wording or layout; count distinct clusters rather than raw output count. Why: Six near-duplicates are not called six diverse ideas. Success check: Six near-duplicates are not called six diverse ideas. Accessible alternative: Complete “Group concepts that share the same metaphor, wording or layout; count distinct clusters rather than raw output count.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Six near-duplicates are not called six diverse ideas.” Limit visible options to three at a time to reduce overload while preserving human-first generation. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Evaluate blind Remove origin labels and score every human and AI-assisted concept against the prewritten rubric. Why: Selection is not driven by novelty theatre or model prestige. Success check: Selection is not driven by novelty theatre or model prestige. Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Remove origin labels and score every human and AI-assisted concept against the prewritten rubric.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “Selection is not driven by novelty theatre or model prestige.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Combine actively Choose one human element and one verified useful variation, then redraw and explain each contribution. Why: The final object contains a deliberate human decision, not passive acceptance. Success check: The final object contains a deliberate human decision, not passive acceptance. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Choose one human element and one verified useful variation, then redraw and explain each contribution.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The final object contains a deliberate human decision, not passive acceptance.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Test delayed unaided creation After 48 hours, solve a new signage prompt without AI and compare range, confidence and ownership with baseline. Why: Device-on productivity is separate from retained creative ability. Success check: Device-on productivity is separate from retained creative ability. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “After 48 hours, solve a new signage prompt without AI and compare range, confidence and ownership with baseline.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person.
