- AI assistance initially improves performance but at a cognitive cost, reducing persistence and independent skills.
- Study on 350 Americans solving equations showed AI group's performance dropped sharply when access was cut, with similar results in larger experiments.
- Researchers warn AI in education could dilute human innovation and creativity by eroding motivation and long-term learning.
- Caveats: study not peer-reviewed; using AI for hints vs. answers had varying impacts on post-AI performance.
- Other studies link AI to 'AI brain fry' in workers, increased fatigue, and poorer test outcomes in students.
