Flutterby™! : AI Assistance Reduces Persistence

Preprint: AI Assistance Reduces Persistence and Hurts Independent Performance Grace Liu, Brian Christian, Tsvetomira Dumbalska, Michiel A. Bakker, Rachit Dubey

Notably, these effects emerge after only brief interactions with AI (approximately 10 minutes).
