Wharton’s latest AI study points to a hard truth: “AI writes, humans review” model is breaking down Why "just review the AI output" doesn't work anymore, our brains literally give up. We have started doing "Cognitive Surrender" to AI - Wharton’s latest AI study points to a hard truth: reviewing AI output is not a reliable safeguard when cognition itself starts to defer to the machine.when you stop verifying what the AI tells you, and you don't even realize you stopped. It's different from offloading, like using a calculator. With offloading you know the tool did the work. With surrender, your brain recodes the AI's answer as YOUR judgment. You genuinely believe you thought it through yourself. Says AI is becoming a 3rd thinking system, and people often trust it too easily. You know Kahneman's System 1 (fast intuition) and System 2 (slow analysis)? They're saying AI is now System 3, an external cognitive system that operates outside your brain. And when you use it enough, something happens that they call Cognitive Surrender. Cognitive surrender is trickier: AI gives an answer, you stop really questioning it, and your brain starts treating that output as your own conclusion. It does not feel outsourced. It feels self-generated. The data makes it hard to brush off. Across 3 preregistered studies with 1,372 participants and 9,593 trials, people turned to AI on over 50% of questions. In Study 1, when AI was correct, people followed it 92.7% of the time. When it was wrong, they still followed it 79.8% of the time. Without AI, baseline accuracy was 45.8%. With correct AI, it jumped to 71.0%. With incorrect AI, it dropped to 31.5%, worse than having no AI. Access to AI also boosted confidence by 11.7 percentage points, even when the answers were wrong. Human review is supposed to be the safety net. But this research suggests the safety net has a hole in it: people do not just miss bad AI output; they become more confident in it. Time pressure did not eliminate the effect. Incentives and feedback reduced it but did not remove it. And the people most resistant tended to score higher on fluid intelligence and need for cognition. That makes this feel less like a laziness problem and more like a cognitive architecture problem.

@ggreenwald Ha ha. Medhi’s done ya.

People like Mehdi Hasan and other DNC partisans spent years maligning people as fascists for the crime of talking to Tucker and recognizing his important value in US discourse. Then one day they wake up and decide it's OK to do, and announce it as if they're visionary pioneers:

People like Glenn Greenwald & other MAGA partisans are the reason we’re in this war because they told us Trump was antiwar & now pretend they had nothing to do with it. (On a side note, people like Greenwald & Fetterman’s brains are obviously broken or maybe they’re just high.)

@rationalaussie It’s quite possible he will try this. The question is applying game theory to Iran& Israel, and working out how much a certain lunatic power base can leverage Trump. It seems as likely he pretends it never happed as he starts World War III.

I have been informed that the normie view of the Iran War is Trump will call it off any day now and everything will be back to normal. Not sure if I'm amazed at the level of retard-maxxing normies possess or just in awe at how stupid their logic is. They're in for a rude shock

@Nullimus @RyanCoetzee Oh fuck off

You claim he is unfit, yet he is the most competent president I have ever seen. ---He has rebuilt the entire economic structure of the world around America. He did it in 10 months. ---He has closed a border that was said to be impossible without additional legislation. He did that in 24 hours. ---He has secured our energy independence to the point that if all global oil flow stopped we would still have enough left over to make bank fulfilling the worlds demand. He did that using a single 2 hour operation in Venezuela. ---He has secured our entire hemisphere and put a big question mark in the head of every world leader when they consider taking us on militarily or economically or politically. ---He is the Chad of geopolitics and he has demonstrated himself to be a master of political, military, and economic pressure. If it were not for the enemies within his domestic policy would be an additional testament to his mastery of his role as President of the United States.

I understand some people hate the left. I understand that some people are conservative. I understand some people are nationalists. But what I don’t understand is why anyone, whatever their world view, would be unable to see Trump for what he is as a human being. It’s a simple matter of basic judgement. He is unfit. Utterly unfit.

@warroom4evr @KnoxieLuv Kirk was one of the worst.

@KnoxieLuv I think the difference is Mueller lived a long life & died of natural causes & (at some level factually agree upon ) did extremely corrupt things to ppl. Some ppl are certifiably bad ppl . CK was not one of them .

How is this any better than what the left did to Charlie? Can we agree it's wrong no matter who does it? I didn't support it when the left did it and I don't support it now! They should have held him accountable while he was alive!

@KnoxieLuv Kirk was a shithead though

@J_Bloodworth It’s just whataboutery mate.

This is so poor. They make various directly political points and then hide behind "but we're just musicians" when asked to comment on human rights abuses perpetrated by the Cuban state: channel4.com/news/kneecap-i…

@notesfromspain Zoe is deeply unserious.

He literally points the camera at some of the most punchable people on the planet and lets them do the talking but, ok, he's the irritating one?

@MostlyPeaceful This is a joke guys.

3x Trump Voter here. I was shocked by the president’s comments on Robert Mueller’s passing. I will not be voting for him in 2028.

@kimmonismus Oh Chubby, 🙈 The CEOs literally SAY THE THING and then cackle like bond villains. They *literally* say the thing. Are we pretending they don’t?

That's so stupid, they're seriously walking around with "Stop Skynet" signs. They've watched too many doom and gloom sci-fi movies. We still have a lot of educational work to do, friends.

@BSwan103 @carolecadwalla You know we can see the video right?

I wish some establishment media types would comment on this exchange. That they haven’t is maybe the biggest tell of all about how the media works.

@ggreenwald It’s about class and the preservation of capital and power. Any analysis that invokes concepts such as “NPC” comes from another parallel elite trying not to save the world but replace the elite with “their guys”. I would rather (just about) globalists to tech bros.

There are many competitors, but British elites are the worst. Their political and media class is as pompous as they are unimpressive, driven by shallow group-think. That's what made Tucker's interview with The Economist editor so revealing: she is the embodiment of all that.👇

@TXMCtrades @Cernovich That’s why he said it.

@Cernovich Only an idiot would propose banning shorts

Trump must ban short selling. Letting people profit from this war via insider information is treason.

@OfTheBraveUSA @EpsteinFuryNet Turns out they weren’t retarded. Just incredibly slow.

Tim Dillon: " This is how [empires] spin out, where you have people without any justification running around talking about how well we're doing. Gaslighting the public. Our government's completely dysfunctional and everybody knows it."

@SpecialSitsNews Trump was Trump and you voted for him. He said what he was. He told you. He couldn’t do any other. It was the median American voted who chose not to listen.

Trump could have just coasted on AI productivity and a soft landing driven by lower inflation... He could have cracked down on immigration and taken credit. Instead, he made enemies around the world, tried to invade Greenland, got 8 Middle Eastern nations bombed, and caused global stagflation by doubling fuel prices... SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE

@spectator The grifter economy is so saturated man. We are weeks away from these boys setting up their own universities.

‘Some people might say: “I admit my ignorance.” But I’d suggest a slight alteration to that phrase: “I’d like to admit my curiosity.” Because it’s only when we accept what we don’t know that the whole world really opens up.’ Subscribe to read more.

@BoMiaoFinance @devisridhar Yeah this is AI written and probably a bot but holy fuck what a dickhead bot.

The detector isn't broken — it's identifying the right signal for the wrong reason. AI checkers learned to flag low-entropy, high-predictability prose. Academic writing in public health and medicine optimized for exactly that decades before GPT. LLMs then trained on that corpus. So the detector correctly spots the pattern — it just can't tell whether systematic prose got there through professional practice or model generation. The 90% score doesn't mean "your writing looks like AI." It means "your writing optimizes for the same properties AI was trained on." That's a different claim.

Exact same issue for me- I know my previous books and articles have been used to train AI (looking at you anthropic)- & when I run previous articles (written pre-AI) into AI checkers, they can come back as high as 90% AI. It's not artificial intelligence- it's collective human intelligence.
