	Goal & Motivation	I want to perform well at my job and do well at my classes.
	Motivation	Because I have to keep up with deliverable deadlines and maintain good academic standing.
	Conflict	I feel conflicted about using AI to help solve problem set questions. I also feel conflicted about my extensive use of AI while working, and the ratio of chatting with AI versus talking to humans.
	Attempts to Solve	Reducing AI usage for problem solving, increasing usage for understanding high-level concepts Talk to roommate
	Setting/ Environment	Dorm room/apartment
	Tools	ChatGPT Cursor Deepseek Laptop + phone People: Coworkers, manager, TAs, classmates, professor
	Skills	Good at systems design Good at approaching coding problems Good at designing a high-level solution
	More	Habits Opening an LLM automatically when… Coming across a bug in code Needing help with revision (whether academic writing or personal writing) Using it as tutoring help Uses AI for the complete workday Feeling sad about decrease in human interaction Routines Read the problem Understand the problem (sometimes with help of AI) Come up with an approach individually Review that approach with AI Begin tackling the problem, with concurrent use of AI

	Encounter Motivation (to use AI)	Write Prompt	Understand LLM Response	Interact With LLM	Reflect On Experience
Emotion	🤨	😶	🧐	😠	😟
See	A problem that needs to be solved or a question that needs to be addressed	A chatbot that can answer any question	The LLM codeblock response to the problem	Issues with the code that the LLM responded with, either bugs or not following certain instructions	Codebase that is largely generated by AI rather than human
Think	“I need to solve this problem quickly with a convenient method”	“How can I describe my problem succinctly”	“How can I parse through this response to understand what it generated? Or apply it to my problem?”	“How can I continue to prompt the LLM to generate code that will correctly integrate with mine?”	“Why do I rely so heavily on AI now?”
Do	Open preferred LLM	Type out or copy and paste problem/question	Copy and paste the solution/auto-integrate into existing code	Tell the LLM what is wrong, and what should be fixed, or ask for clarification	Exit the LLM and take a break to touch grass
Feel	Urgent or indifferent	Indifferent	Satisfied	Concentrated or frustrated	Sad
