After reading a paper on LLMs and essay writing leading to less cognitive engagement and reported “ownership”, I had Lupa put together a list of ways to counteract the reported effects.
☑ Try to answer from memory
☑ Then check against reliable sources or LLMs
☑ Note what you got right and wrong to sharpen recall
☑ Don’t skim past outputs
☑ Read critically—even when the machine is “on your side”
☑ Annotate or rephrase to process deeply
☑ Rewrite answers in your own words
☑ Strip LLM responses down to bones and rebuild
☑ Use your own metaphors or analogies
