  This position paper examines potential pitfalls on the way towards achieving
human-AI co-creation with generative models in a way that is beneficial to the
users' interests. In particular, we collected a set of nine potential pitfalls,
based on the literature and our own experiences as researchers working at the
intersection of HCI and AI. We illustrate each pitfall with examples and
suggest ideas for addressing it. Reflecting on all pitfalls, we discuss and
conclude with implications for future research directions. With this
collection, we hope to contribute to a critical and constructive discussion on
the roles of humans and AI in co-creative interactions, with an eye on related
assumptions and potential side-effects for creative practices and beyond.
