The use of generative AI as a writing assistant or substitute is increasing, particularly in individual writing. As AI blurs the boundary between human and machine roles, writing remains an inherently human creative act that cannot be simply replaced. This study explores individual creativity in writing, emphasizing ”dialogue with one ’ s past self” as a key element in fostering creativity. Based on this perspective, we developed HALO-TextEditor, a prototype that enables interaction with past writing history. By dynamically visualizing a writer ’s past work in chronological order, it helps users reposition, interpret, and repurpose their previous creative outputs within their current context. Drawing from insights gained with HALO-TextEditor, this paper redefines the human role in the era of generative AI and explores the essence of creativity emerging from engagement with one ’s writing history.
