Studies Question AI’s Impact on Creativity and Productivity
………………

Recent research explores the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on creativity and work efficiency, according to new reports. One study from MIT found that students using AI to assist with essay writing produced lower-quality work and engaged less in creative thinking compared to those working unaided.

Meanwhile, a separate investigation by AI research group METR revealed that experienced developers using AI coding assistants actually slowed down by 10 to 40 percent, spending excessive time correcting AI errors and refining prompts.

Experts caution that current AI tools are not yet reliable cognitive replacements, often generating substandard outputs in complex tasks like academic writing. The growing concern lies in the future potential of AI to fully perform tasks traditionally done by humans.
