There's yet another study about how bad AI is for our brains
Summary
Engadget reports on a US/UK study showing that AI assistance can improve immediate performance but at a high cognitive cost, leading to reduced persistence when AI support is removed. The experiments, including math problems and reading comprehension, found performance declines and a reluctance to try without AI. The study is not yet peer-reviewed, but a caveat notes that using AI for hints may ease recovery; researchers warn about rapid AI deployment in education and potential impacts on human creativity.
