    It would be interesting to see another study focusing on cognitive load. Maybe the AI let’s you offload some amount of thinking so you reserve that energy for things it’s bad at. But I could see how that would potentially be a wash as you need to clearly specify your requirements in the prompt, which is a different cognitive load.

      I seem to recall a separate study showing that it just encouraged users to think more lazily, not more critically.
