Check out new paper that shows more AI assistance takes away meaningful cognitive engagement, which received a 🏅Best Paper Honorable Mention award at #CSCW2025
New paper led by @XinyueChenn shows that more AI assistance (on note-taking) takes away meaningful cognitive engagement. @XinyueChenn also showcases an interface design that retains valuable engagement when using AI -> give users "hands-on" opportunities to encode information.
