Chatboturile AI au un efect periculos, dar pe care nici nu-l realizăm: nu ne mai lasă să spunem „nu știu”

A study reveals that access to AI chatbots can weaken individuals' ability to recognize their knowledge limits, leading to overconfidence in incorrect answers. Participants who used an AI chatbot were less likely to say 'I don't know' and more likely to provide incorrect answers with increased confidence. The research highlights the impact of AI on metacognition, suggesting that reliance on AI may diminish critical self-evaluation skills. This phenomenon occurs because AI responses, despite being wrong, often sound convincing, leading users to accept them without verification. The study warns of the risks of delegating decision-making to AI, which may result in a loss of personal judgment.
