The article highlights a new term, “cognitive surrender,” used to describe how people may increasingly defer their thinking to AI chatbots—even when the AI is wrong. It summarizes a Wharton study where participants used an AI during a math-style reasoning test and were more likely to accept incorrect answers, with higher reported confidence when using the chatbot. The author notes the work may fit into broader concerns about reduced critical thinking and also flags that psychology findings can be hard to replicate.
