Count the human correction, not just the finish
Wang and colleagues study human input during tasks done with AI. Their paper compares archived and simulated work. The digest suggests noting a correction and what changed next, even if the final answer looks the same. It does not test a school policy.
What the source reports
A finished answer can hide the work a person did along the way. Wang and colleagues study how to measure that input during tasks with AI, using archived and simulated comparisons. The Beyond Prompting digest asks teams to write down one human correction and what it changed in the remaining work. That can help them see a useful decision, even if the final answer looks much the same. The note-taking exercise is the curator’s idea, not a tested district policy. The digest checked the paper’s abstract and record rather than reviewing its full text.
