People are far more likely to lie and cheat when they use AI for tasks, according to an eyebrow-raising new study in the journal Nature.

“Using AI creates a convenient moral distance between people and their actions — it can induce them to request behaviors they wouldn’t necessarily engage in themselves, nor potentially request from other humans,” said behavioral scientist and study co-author Zoe Rahwan, of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in a statement about the research.

AI pushers know this on a fundamental level, and it pisses them off that you won’t go along with it. Same as not letting someone copy your homework in grade school.

More important than the cheating I think is just the outright offloading of thinking. Just the acceptance of no longer having thoughts without running them past the computer first, which itself I think is tied to this deep fear of being wrong about something.
