# Illustrative consented interview: AI and everyday cognition

**This is a synthetic, illustrative research object.** No real participant
exists; it demonstrates how a consented interview travels as a sealed KNOBE.
The pseudonym, the responses, and the consent terms are all fictional.

**Interviewer:** When you say the assistant "remembers better than you do," what do you mean?

**P-047:** I mean I stopped keeping the thread myself. If I want to know why we chose the smaller sample, I don't reread my notes; I ask the model to remind me. It's usually right. But I've noticed I can't always tell anymore whether the reason it gives me is the reason we had.

**Interviewer:** Does that worry you?

**P-047:** Less than it should, probably. It's like asking whether outsourcing your legs to a car worries you. It does when the car is gone.

**Interviewer:** If a future study wanted to reuse this interview, what would you want them to know?

**P-047:** That I said this in 2026, before any of us knew how this settles. Quote me with that date attached, or don't quote me.

*Consent (illustrative): quotation permitted with pseudonym and year; the participant retains the sealed original; new uses require a new license object chained to this one.*
