Replying to Avatar Dr. Hax

Academic paper shows that using AI reduces critical thinking among users who have confidence in AI.

Interestingly, those with less confidence in AI engage in more critical thinking when using AI.

This explains so many posts I see from people who are bonkers for AI and think it should ve used absolutely everywhere.

It does make sense though. If you're confident in AI, you're not going to check its work. Same goes for if you lack confidence in yourself (be it justified or not).

If you're like me and think AI frequently answers the wrong question (one not asked) and makes errors, which are sometime major, you'll be looking over the results very closely.
