Abstract: This conceptual paper investigates the theoretical paradox of integrating Generative AI (GenAI) into L2 vocabulary acquisition. Mapping Large Language Model affordances onto the three lexical processing stages noticing, retrieval, and generation reveals a structural shift toward automated scaffolding and co-creation. Synthesizing Cognitive Load Theory and the Involvement Load Hypothesis, we argue that while GenAI minimizes extraneous load via adaptive prompting, its frictionless delivery eviscerates task-induced involvement by neutralizing critical Search and Evaluation parameters. This cognitive offloading removes desirable difficulties, trapping EFL learners within a superficial illusion of competence. To resolve this dilemma, this study introduces the AI-Mediated Cognitive Engagement Model (ACEM), a two-dimensional matrix engineered to regulate Optimal Cognitive Friction within generative digital tasks. The paper concludes with actionable prompt architectures to transition AI from a cognitive crutch to a pedagogical challenger, outlining future neurocognitive research pathways (fMRI, eye-tracking, EEG) to validate AI-mediated lexical retention depth.
