  1. Using #AI makes people less likely to be correct

    Accuracy collapsed when AI was available

    - Baseline: 27% gave correct answer
    - With AI advice, 9% gave #correct answer

    Fact: Some would-be correct people got AI advice & became #wrong

    AI advice made people #confident there're correct

    - Baseline: 30%
    - With AI help, confidence rose to 76%

    People became worse, accuracy was only 1/3, but they were twice as confident
