Proposes a six-move framework (Prime, Probe, Point, Attach, Strengthen, Test) for learning with AI, using an 'effortless' diagnostic to avoid illusion of mastery, backed by cited evidence of design-dependent outcomes including 17% harm from unguarded AI and doubled gains from engineered tutors.

The authors introduce Agentivism as a learning theory for human-AI interaction that explains how durable capability develops through selective delegation, epistemic monitoring, reconstructive internalization, and transfer under reduced support.
A structured dialogue intervention corrects 82% of multimodal errors made by LLMs on physics problems, including 100% of visual processing errors.

The Effortless Trap: Productive Struggle, AI, and the Illusion of Learning
