V good point — if you test for the "eroded ability" of a group who started a task with AI tool help, then the tool was taken away, what about: • non-AI tool help given then removed • another person doing most of the task who's then removed • doing the task with an awesome, fun pen --> removed

These studies are missing a control for non-AI tools

tbh there *could* be an effect from heavy reliance on AI tools (maybe it's even wholly different from our heavy reliance on GPS, internet, indoor plumbing, antibiotics, etc) but we do not seem to be testing for it very carefully. Personally I'm exhausting my brain more, feels like, not parking it
