Two things I found interesting:

Effects are concentrated among users who seek direct solutions: Persistence costs were concentrated among participants who prompted AI to solve tasks for them directly. Using AI for hints or clarifications did not produce significant impairments.

So that's a major caveat.

Another interesting thing would be to know if this is an AI effect specifically, or a technical aid effect generally. For instance, would a calculator produce similar results?
