⚡️🧠 NEW - A new study from Wharton researchers found that many people now "surrender" their thinking to AI.

When given wrong answers from AI, users followed them about 80% of the time. Their accuracy got worse than if they had worked alone. Yet they felt more confident anyway.

The study calls this "cognitive surrender." AI acts like a third way of thinking that can replace our own effort.
