Program Goal
Use AI without giving away your thinking.
This app does not ban AI and does not celebrate it blindly. It helps students practice the third option: critical AI literacy.
- Spot summary pretending to be analysis.
- Test whether AI creates real discussion or fake agreement.
- Compare polished generic writing with authentic voice.
- Audit AI use before, during, and after assignments.

Lab 1
AI Misread Detector
Students compare an AI-style response with their own interpretation. The goal is to catch oversimplification, missing nuance, unsupported claims, or plot summary pretending to be analysis.
Thinking Check
Does the AI mostly summarize?
Does it make claims without evidence?
Does it ignore ambiguity or multiple readings?
Lab Output
Your results will appear here.
Lab 2
Sycophancy Stress Test
Some chatbots agree too easily. In this lab, students test whether AI creates productive tension or just says “great idea.”
Productive Friction Checklist
Did the response ask a real follow-up question?
Did it identify a counterargument?
Did it avoid fake praise?
Lab Output
Your debate moves will appear here.
