AI Assistance Erodes Persistence, Harms Independent Problem‑solving
The mindless use of A.I. is rotting the brains of too many people. "A.I. assistance reduces persistence and impairs independent performance: After brief A.I.-assisted sessions (10 minutes), participants were significantly more likely to give up on problems and performed significantly worse once the A.I. was removed, compared to participants who never had A.I. assistance. Effects are concentrated among users who seek direct solutions: Persistence costs were concentrated among participants who prompted A.I. to solve tasks for them directly. Using A.I. for hints or clarifications did not produce significant impairments." https://t.co/hREn5Kdcfv
