Guided AI dialogue was followed by more developed reading questions, with task order limiting causal interpretation

A within-student study of 112 undergraduates compared questions written after ordinary digital reading with questions written after a second reading supported by ERNIE Bot dialogue. The AI-supported phase produced more questions and higher rated question quality. Dialogue patterns also differed by performance. Because all students encountered the ordinary reading first and a different AI-supported text second, the evidence cannot separate assistance from order, practice and text effects or establish independent transfer.
