![One of the most prominent effects of using AI in writing is the shift in how students engage
with the material. Generative AI can generate content on demand, offering students quick
drafts based on minimal input. While this can be beneficial in terms of saving time and
offering inspiration, it also impacts students' ability to retain and recall information, a key
aspect of learning. When students rely on AI to produce lengthy or complex essays, they
may bypass the process of synthesizing information from memory, which can hinder their
understanding and retention of the material. For instance, while ChatGPT significantly
improved short-term task performance, such as essay scores, it did not lead to significant
differences in knowledge gain or transfer [55]. This suggests that while AI tools can
enhance productivity, they may also promote a form of "metacognitive laziness," where
students offload cognitive and metacognitive responsibilities to the AI, potentially hindering
their ability to self-regulate and engage deeply with the learning material [55]. AI tools that
generate essays without prompting students to reflect or revise can make it easier for
students to avoid the intellectual effort required to internalize key concepts, which is crucial
for long-term learning and knowledge transfer [55]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e36u5s7ohhidia4x5e4nwdd4/bafkreigu3ksvv7ogskqwqw6wwjmbhdwj4pgltdm5rf4hlupww7fwbfyhga@jpeg)
