Abstract

This paper is an encore submission of our 2026 journal article"Expertise and Information Seeking in the Age of Generative AI: New Procedures, New Problematics"with an extended discussion for the CSCW 2026"Broader Impacts of GenAI in Communication"Workshop on October 10, 2026. In the original article, we employ procedural rhetoric to analyze how generative AI chatbots leverage natural language signifiers of expertise and intelligence to influence users'perception of their trustworthiness. In this submission, we extend our conversation in the CSCW community with the goal of cultivating a cross-disciplinary vocabulary for describing, analyzing, and mitigating the risks posed by the integration of generative AI into human communication practices. It is important to develop an understanding of how the procedures surrounding information-seeking practices are informed by users'values, experiences, and expectations - and how these procedures might in future be altered by the emerging turn toward AI"experts"and authority.
