Multiple studies demonstrate that generative AI tools may harm users' intelligence and creativity. Research indicates that groups using AI like Google Search produce fewer innovative ideas due to a fixation effect, where exposure to examples limits their original thinking. Additionally, individuals' confidence in their creative abilities can diminish when working with AI, lowering their perceived creativity. A single effective approach exists that allows people to use generative AI for enhancement rather than detriment to their cognitive capabilities.
Research published by Carnegie Mellon University found that groups using Google Search generated fewer creative ideas during brainstorming compared to groups without access to it. This fixation effect shows that reliance on search results stifles originality.
A study highlighted that AI influences individuals' confidence in their creative abilities. It showed most participants felt less creative when using AI, impacting their creative self-beliefs and potentially lowering their innovation.
