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.

"'This highlights a crucial issue in human-AI interaction. Potential metacognitive laziness.' By that, researchers mean a dependence on AI assistance, offloading thought processes to the bot and not engaging directly with the tasks that are needed to synthesize, analyze and explain." Bingo.
