Will the use of AI-assisted speaking affect learners' interactional skills? How do we address such impact? In this study, it is clear that ChatGPT's constraints shape what the learner can practise: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interesting take on the danger of AI and #cognitiveoffloading: "The question is what kind of learning community we want to build, and whether we’re willing to extend the forms of assistance that privileged students have always had to everyone else." nickpotkalitsky.substack.com/p/in-praise-...
