Even Minutes With AI Weaken Persistence, Study Finds

Original: Mere Minutes With AI Causes a Sharp Drop in Persistence - Nautilus https:// nautil.us/mere-minutes-with-ai -causes-a-sha

A Nautilus article argues that spending mere minutes using AI tools can cause a sharp drop in people's persistence, raising the question of how much cognitive offloading is too much. The piece links use of large language models to reduced willingness to work through problems independently, a concern fueling wider debate about how AI reliance may be reshaping attention, effort, and thinking habits.

Why now: Growing anxiety about AI tools eroding independent thinking and effort is a hot topic as AI use becomes everyday.
