PAUSE是一款隐私保护的自我反思网络工具，通过浏览器端评分的自我检查，帮助用户识别LLM使用在推理、创造力、学习及社交四个领域中的认知卸载模式，提供非诊断性的反思反馈。
中文摘要 AI 辅助
认知卸载是指利用外部辅助工具（如笔记、计算器或搜索引擎）来减少脑力劳动。大型语言模型（LLM）将这一概念扩展到思维本身，而所谓AI相关的认知卸载，我指的是一个人习惯性地用LLM输出替代自身推理、想法生成、学习或沟通的模式。近期实证研究报告了某些LLM使用模式与批判性思维努力程度、辅助任务中的神经参与、创造性多样性、学习行为及社交依赖性变化之间的关联。针对AI依赖、成瘾及素养的验证性工具已开始出现。我描述了PAUSE（AI使用模式：自我检查），一款隐私设计的网络工具（链接：此https URL），它与其他工具定位不同。PAUSE是一款轻量级、非诊断性的反思辅助工具，供个人私下使用。PAUSE围绕个人自身的LLM使用可能与四个日常领域（“推理与批判性思维”、“创造力与原创性”、“研究与学习”、“社交与沟通能力”）中的认知卸载相关的方式组织。它提供简短、免费、无需登录的自我检查，完全在浏览器中评分，并返回描述性的、领域感知的反思。自我检查将反向计分的行为条目与主张评估推理测试、替代用途创造力测试以及一个小型回顾性前后对比模块配对。PAUSE并不假设AI使用有害。它仅针对AI替代了个人可能希望保留的努力的情况。该应用在设计上保护隐私：评分是确定性的且在客户端运行，无需个人数据，除浏览器会话外不传输或存储任何内容，且生产环境中不涉及LLM。PAUSE是一款自我反思工具，而非经过验证的心理测量工具。
英文摘要
Cognitive offloading is the use of external aids, such as notes, calculators, or search engines, to reduce mental effort. Large language models (LLMs) extend this to thinking itself, and by AI-associated cognitive offloading, I mean the pattern where a person routinely substitutes LLM output for their own reasoning, idea generation, learning, or communication. Recent empirical work reports associations between some patterns of LLM use and changes in critical thinking effort, neural engagement during assisted tasks, creative diversity, learning behaviour, and social dependence. Validated instruments for AI reliance, dependence, and literacy have begun to appear. I describe PAUSE (Patterns of AI Use: Self-Examination), a privacy-by-design web tool (link: https://anondo1969.github.io/pause) that occupies a different niche from these. It is a lightweight, non-diagnostic reflection aid for private individual use. PAUSE is organised around how a person's own LLM use may relate to cognitive offloading across four everyday domains ('reasoning & critical thinking', 'creativity & originality', 'research & learning', and 'social & communicative capacity'). It delivers a short, free, no-login self-check, scores it entirely in the browser, and returns descriptive, domain-aware reflections. The self-check pairs reverse-scored behavioural items with a claim-evaluation reasoning probe, an alternative-uses creativity probe, and a small retrospective before-and-after block. PAUSE does not assume that AI use is harmful. It only addresses where AI substitutes for effort a person may want to preserve. The application is privacy-preserving by design: scoring is deterministic and runs client-side, no personal data is required, nothing is transmitted or stored beyond the browser session, and no LLM is involved in production. PAUSE is a self-reflection tool. It is not a validated psychological instrument.
