A study by Michael Gerlich at SBS Swiss Business School has found that increased reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tools is linked to diminished critical thinking abilities. It points to cognitive offloading as a primary driver of the decline.
A mix of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was used with 666 participants in the United Kingdom. They were distributed across three age groups (17–25, 26–45, 46 and older) and had varying educational backgrounds.
im all for the defenestration of ai, but these numbers do not promise much significance. i would welcome a more comprehensive study conducted over a larger geographical region.
remember, 346 of those 666 voted to leave. their critical thinking skills were already suspect to begin with.
