Why it matters
MIT Media Lab research finds chatbot users get better at spotting misinformation while the assistant is present, then score 15% below their own baseline once it is taken away. The study also separates two designs: AI that asks Socratic questions builds independent judgement, AI that hands over direct answers erodes it. How a tool answers shapes capability more than what it answers. The practical read is to use assistants to challenge a draft rather than to produce one.
