Claims
AI assistance is associated with patterns of suggestion reuse. Evidence from a small follow-up think-aloud study suggests that the interface can increase users' awareness of how AI outputs are incorporated into their writing and may support more conscious engagement with AI assistance.
That measured textual overlap between AI suggestions and final participant writing serves as a valid proxy for overreliance or influence rather than reflecting other factors such as idea adoption or stylistic convergence.
Mixed-methods study finds AI assistance linked to higher textual overlap with suggestions in writing tasks, and a reflective interface prototype increases user awareness of AI incorporation.
