Summary

arXiv:2605.15322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As generative AI (GenAI) systems become increasingly proficient at simulating human-like and well-reasoned text, users may attribute authority to AI outputs, shaping how they engage with writing and reasoning tasks. While prior work has raised concerns about AI overreliance, empirical approaches for observing this phenomenon during open-ended writing remain limited. In this paper, we examine how GenAI assistance influences users' interactions with

Analysis

This is first-hand research addressing the critical issue of AI overreliance. It provides both a measurement framework and a design intervention.
