  The creation process of design fiction is going participatory and inclusive
with non experts. Recognizing the potential of artificial intelligence in
creativity support, we explore the use of AI assistance in creating design
fiction. This investigation is based on a workshop on future work in 2040 with
Chinese youth. We look into fiction quality, participants experiences with the
AI agent, and their ways of incorporating those texts into writing. Our
findings show that human writers while responding to messy and unexpected
AI-generated texts, can elevate the richness and creativity in writing and
initiate joyful and inspirational interactions. Furthermore, for the design of
AI assistance in creativity support, we suggest two implications of enhancing
interactional quality between human and AI and prompt programming. Our study
indicates the potential of applying design fiction outside the design context
using a more inclusive approach for future speculation with critical reflection
on technology.
