Don't outsource thinking to AI

April 6, 2025

Trust AI or not?

🤔 🧠

"The more confidence users had in the AI, the less they thought critically. In contrast, the more confident they were in themselves, the more likely they were to question the output, verify the information, and think deeply about the task.

Let that sink in: Confidence in AI replaces confidence in self and with it, the thinking disappears.

High trust in GenAI consistently led to reduced critical thinking and less cognitive effort across the board."
