Rachit Dubey, at Bluesky: "we provide [...] evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.
And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!"
"Why does this happen? Two candidate mechanisms:
1) AI resets your reference point for how long things 'should' take. Unaided work suddenly feels harder than it actually is, -- a kind of hedonic adaptation.
2) AI removes the productive struggle through which you learn what you're capable of."
"This is especially concerning because persistence is foundational to skill acquisition and one of the *strongest* predictors of long-term learning.
AI conditions you to expect immediate answers, removing the productive struggle that builds real competence."
