Nauti's Take
This study offers valuable insights for more conscious AI use — knowing the risks lets people actively counteract cognitive dependency before it sets in. If regular AI use systematically undermines confidence in one's own thinking, the long-term effects on knowledge workers could be significant and hard to reverse.
People in knowledge-intensive roles should treat AI as a complement, not a replacement — and deliberately build in time to think and decide without AI assistance.
