Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly embraced in creative design practices, yet its implications for participatory futuring remain underexplored. This paper reports an exploratory study using GenAI in a series of participatory futuring workshops that invited residents of two shrinking cities in South Korea to imagine desirable futures for compact cities. Across 14 sessions, 212 participants in groups co- created 52 future newspaper articles envisioning the year 2045 with the aid of GenAI, positioned at the final steps of sessions to turn imagination into texts and images. Through thematic analysis, we find that while GenAI supported narrative flow by synthesising fragmented inputs, elaborating preliminary ideas, and framing rhetorically, it also exhibited frictions, such as distorting participants' intentions, reductive interpretations of diverse ideas, representational biases, and inconsistent adherence to instructions. These dynamics call for socio-politically sensitive design to challenge the status quo and open space for multiple voices and diverse possibilities.
