Ketan Joshi"Cognitive surrender" leads AI users to abandon logical thinking, research finds https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/research-finds-ai-users-scarily-willing-to-surrender-their-cognition-to-llms/
aoanla@ketan what's interesting about the paper (having read the abstract and the conclusions, and skimmed the methodology) is that they're *very* keen to insist that they're not being *negative* about cognitive surrender, merely noting that it exists. The question is: why would you not be negative about it? What can we say about the authors that they feel the need to hedge ethically on this observed phenomenon?
