- Assertion
- Across the three studies, of trials where participants consulted a faulty AI, 73.2% showed cognitive surrender, 19.7% cognitive offloading (correct override), and 7.1% failed overrides; incentives plus feedback raised offloading to 37.1% and lowered surrender to 57.9%, while time pressure cut offloading to 6.2%.
- Quote
Across studies, 73.2% of such trials showed cognitive surrender, 19.7% cognitive offloading, and 7.1% failed overrides (resisted AI but still answered incorrectly). Situational factors shifted these shares: Incentives + Feedback increased cognitive offloading by ~19 pp to 37.1% and reduced surrender to 57.9% (failed overrides = ~5%); Time Pressure cut offloading by ~12 pp to 6.2% and raised failed overrides by ~8 pp to 13.8%.
