Survey of User Interface Design and Interaction Techniques in Generative
  AI Applications
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.
