minus-squareauraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·4 days ago Self-reported reductions in cognitive effort do not equal reduced critical thinking; efficiency isn’t cognitive decline. The study relies on subjective perception, not objective performance or longitudinal data. Trust in AI may reflect appropriate tool use, not overreliance or diminished judgment. Users often shift critical thinking to higher-level tasks like verifying and editing, not abandoning it. Routine task delegation is intentional and rational, not evidence of skill loss. The paper describes perceptions, but overstates risks without proving causation.
