- offloading-contrast
- Assertion
- Shaw and Nave distinguish cognitive surrender, an uncritical abdication of reasoning, from cognitive offloading, a strategic delegation of a task to a tool that aids one's own reasoning; they also distinguish it from automation bias, which concerns specific errors rather than a broader disposition of epistemic dependence.
- Quote
Whereas cognitive offloading is a strategic delegation of deliberation, using a tool to aid one's own reasoning, cognitive surrender is an uncritical abdication of reasoning itself. [...] Whereas automation bias focuses on specific errors of omission or commission in response to automated tools, cognitive surrender describes a broader disposition of epistemic dependence.
