An interview study of 12 students examines how they delegate professional emails to generative AI, finding that AI involvement removes the writing skill learning loop, decouples messages from their specific recipient, and redirects confidence from the writer to the system. Two risks are identified: stunted individual capacities and added labor of managing authenticity.

Worth reading for its side-by-side model of AI-mediated versus unaided writing, and the specific framing of who captures the returns from cognitive delegation.
