It's the season of #CHI writing again, so here's some writing support for #CHI2027 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-w…

Have you also experienced a “paradox of the perfect start” in a university design project? Students skipping to final-looking apps with AI but struggling to articulate their own ideas, and accidentally excluding team members. Thoughts & ideas here: dbuschek.medium.com/the-para…

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 🧵 @welsch_robin @danielaDSF17

The "memory gap" was most acute in mixed workflows: 1️⃣ If you elaborated on an AI idea, there's a 37.7% chance you remember the idea came from AI. 2️⃣ If you used AI to elaborate on your idea, there's a 64% chance you remember the idea as yours. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2509.11851

Typical chatbots force co-writers to leave shared docs. Our #CHI2026 paper explores collaborative AI use in shared docs via 3 features: 🤖 Shared agent profiles ☑️ Repeatable tasks, triggered by users or system 💬 Agents respond in shared comments Preprint in 🧵 w @flolehmann_de

Key findings (14 teams, 1 week): 📍Profiles were seen as personal territory but it's ok to interact with others' agents/tasks/comments 📍User-initative preferred 📍Thus, teams incorporated agents into social collaboration norms, rather than treating them as "equal" team members.

Finalising your #CHI2026 revision? Or suffering from not being allowed to do so? I've "reviewed-to-reject" one of our papers with ChatGPT, to show how this leads to bad reviews - and give ideas for responding to this: medium.com/@dbuschek/dont-re…

Have we lost peer appreciation?🤔Not just at #CHI2026 I notice many review-to-reject. All studies have tradeoffs & limited scope. Sure, reviews are fast even with "passing knowledge", if we list what's not there to 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 designs. medium.com/p/1bab97d0fa98
