Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition "Atrophied and Unprepared"

What it is

404 Media on a Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon study finding that the more people rely on AI at work, the less critical thinking they report using.

Why I recommend it

The study is based on workers describing their own habits, not tests of their thinking, so it shows a link rather than proof that AI causes the decline.
