Description
Recent breakthroughs in large language models (LLMs) have led to the development of tools like ChatGPT and Bing Chat, which can produce texts comparable to those written by competent writers. The affordances of these tools encourage users to offload large parts of their thinking and writing onto the LLM. But in doing so, users surrender autonomy and authorship over their writing. Could LLMs instead encourage writers to reflect on texts that they wrote themselves? Could these reflections lead them to make meaningful revisions to their texts? Our goal is to provide writers with a tool that promotes reflection and encourages revision of their writing
