https://ai-project-website.github.io/AI-assistance-reduces-persistence/ "AI assistance improves immediate performance, but it comes at a heavy cognitive cost: after just ∼10 minutes of AI-assisted problem-solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it. We caution that if such effects accumulate with sustained AI use, current AI systems — optimized only for short-term helpfulness — risk eroding the very human capabilities they are meant to support."
