SummaryStudy based on 61 interviews examines why first-generation, low-income college students adopt LLMs at only surface level, using chatbots for narrow tasks. Identifies five barriers to deeper engagement and proposes four design principles and a four-mode depth gradient of LLM tool use.
Why it mattersConcrete qualitative evidence on adoption friction beyond access, and a useful depth gradient for thinking about how agentic tools actually get used rather than merely tried.
