Literature reviews are crucial in most research and writing processes. This session discusses a 'critically reflexive' user approach for students to compare and evaluate ‘traditional’ literature research tools with 'free', publicly accessible, generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools. This task was part of a month-long student team project in "ENGR392: Social Impact of Technology". Students were asked to compare the outputs of at least 3 GAI tools, to that of ‘traditional’ manual compilation approaches. Rather than simply accepting their AI-curated outputs as a ‘given’, students were prompted to exercise agency by critically comparing within and between their GAI and ‘traditional’ findings.
