Using AI Makes Hard Work Harder!
According to new research, using AI for just 10 minutes significantly reduces a person's ability to sustain demanding tasks.
According to a new research, using artificial intelligence for 10 minutes significantly reduces a person's ability to continue doing hard activities.
According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by Independent, a series of experiments have shown that the use of artificial intelligence tools may reduce people's concentration and their ability to continue difficult activities. The researchers say the findings support concerns that over-reliance on artificial intelligence could affect people's cognitive performance.
They warn that if we get used to getting answers from artificial intelligence in minutes, the process of thinking and analyzing problems may seem slow and inefficient. As a result, the feeling of satisfaction caused by mental effort and problem solving can also decrease.
Brian Christian of the University of California, Berkeley, who contributed to the research, says: "We built these systems to help us, but is their help really useful? "We have shown that, in most cases, these systems contribute in ways that are not useful in practice."
Researchers designed a series of tests to investigate the effect of artificial intelligence tools on concentration and continuity in doing work and used 1,222 online participants in this study.
In the first experiment, 354 people were divided into two groups and both groups were asked to solve 15 simple problems about fractions. One group answered the questions without using artificial intelligence and the other group had access to ChatGPT. After 12 steps, the access of the second group to this tool was cut off. Participants who had used AI solved problems more accurately at first, but after access was cut off, their performance dropped and their ability to solve problems quickly declined.
In another experiment with 667 participants, researchers reached similar results. After cutting off access to the AI tool, some participants would give wrong answers or give up altogether.
In the next step, the researchers conducted a similar test with 201 participants and provided them with reading comprehension and verbal reasoning questions taken from the SAT, the entrance exam for American universities. In this experiment, one group was given access to artificial intelligence, and after it was stopped, some participants stopped continuing the test or misunderstood the questions.
