AI brief
A study of more than 3,000 participants found that having access to AI answers nearly eliminated people's willingness to say "I don't know," dropping from 44 to 3 percent in one experiment even though the AI was almost always wrong.
Why it matters: It suggests that access to AI answers makes people much less likely to admit uncertainty, even when the AI is incorrect.
