There’s no free lunch.

AI can write, analyze, and problem-solve in seconds. So what happens when it starts doing the thinking for you?

In this Deep Dive, Scott unpacks the growing evidence that heavy AI use may weaken critical thinking, reduce learning retention, and increase reliance on flawed outputs. From consultants making worse decisions to students performing worse without AI, the data points to a troubling trend.

He also explores the rise of “cognitive surrender” – and why our growing trust in AI may be outpacing our ability to question it.

ICYMI – Prof G Media’s very own Research Lead, Mia Silverio, recently explored a related angle over on the Markets Newsletter.
