Using #AI makes people less likely to be correct

Accuracy collapsed when AI was available

- Baseline: 27% gave correct answer
- With AI advice, 9% gave #correct answer

Fact: Some would-be correct people got AI advice & became #wrong

AI advice made people #confident there're correct

- Baseline: 30%
- With AI help, confidence rose to 76%

People became worse, accuracy was only 1/3, but they were twice as confident

Is $1.4 trillion a reasonable amount for these cases? Who knows.

Is it reasonable compensation for all the evil they’ve done? I’d argue yes.

It’s essentially their entire market capitalization as a penalty.
