It's the season of #CHI writing again, so here's some writing support from my Medium blog with three articles: 1. My annual reminder that you should really discuss things in your discussion section: dbuschek.medium.com/how-to-write... #CHI2027

This reminds me of a recurring question around AI: Who values process vs outcome, when? Do you jam to try sth new, to practice your skills? Or do you race to produce the most finished-looking game? Jams might be framed more explicitly around one of these to help attract those they hope to reach.

Have you also experienced a “paradox of the perfect start” in a university design project? Students skipping ahead to final-looking results, presenting complete apps but struggling to articulate their own ideas, and accidentally excluding team members. Thoughts and ideas in my article below.

Fun fact for #CHI2026 folks: The generated "Session Summary Podcasts" in the ACM DL "cite" the session's papers and are picked up by Google Scholar, so all papers get +1 citation automatically now!

Can you remember which ideas & sentences were your own and which were generated with AI? In a controlled study (n=184), we found that AI use significantly reduces the accuracy of content attribution after one week. #CHI2026 preprint & numbers in 🧵 @robinwelsch.bsky.social @svengoller.bsky.social

Illustration showing the study flow overall: Left part shows Phase 1 with a user and chatbot working on ideas and elaborations for the example problem "How might we solve the problem of plastic waste in the ocean?" Text says that participants have to come up with five ideas in 1-3 keywords and write elaborations in one sentence each. An arrow with annotation ("One week later") points to a second illustration of a user with question-marked though bubbles. Text says that in this Phase 2, participants were asked: Did you work on this? Source of idea? Source of elaboration? Further text says that they were also asked this for unseen items (so-called distractors). Following another arrow to the right is a box with the title "Key findings" and three bullets: Negative impact of AI on source memory overall; mixed workflows harder to remember than never/always using AI; and people tend to be overconfident about their own performance.

Daniel Buschek @dbuschek.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Have we lost peer appreciation? Not just at #CHI2026 I notice many review-to-reject. All studies have tradeoffs, all papers have limited scope. Sure, reviewing is fast, even with "passing knowledge", if we list what isn't there and conclude it's lacking. But we should review what *has* been done.

Three weeks ago, my feed filled with Grammarly ads - and I wondered: What if we took their messages seriously? My anecdotal "ad-vestigation" connects them to Human-AI interaction concepts, leading to counterfactual questions for alternative design directions. medium.com/p/1bab97d0fa98

Well, guess what happened? Despite appreciating the changes, it is difficult to envision what the revised paper would look like, so a fresh round of reviewing is required. 👉 I think we should get rid of rebuttals without resubmissions. #UIST2025

Daniel Buschek @dbuschek.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

Do you find yourself coding similar stuff again & again to "just run this quick user study"? Florian has invested a lot of time and effort into engineering reusable components for (online) studies in #HCI. We've used & tested it across several recent projects. Now you can, too!👇 #EICS2025

020

Daniel Buschek @dbuschek.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

For #CHI we can submit a revised version after initial reviews. In contrast, it now feels bad to write a #UIST rebuttal without being able to directly show changes. I wonder if reviewers will feel the same way and if that reduces the chances of seriously engaging with rebuttals. 🤔

📱How might mobile text UIs better integrate LLMs? We designed “spread-to-generate”: Spreading fingers on a draft, bubbles show expected length, then get filled with generated words. This achieves continuous control UX despite LLM token streaming latency. #CHI2025 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Dc...
