Abstract

Abstract Drawing on Rice's concept of para-expertise, this article asks, How can we position first-year students as experts who can speak back to Large Language Models (LLM) with authority? The authors analyze essays to demonstrate how seventy-two students drew on their felt sense of a city to respond to LLM writing.
