Ironically, only dumb people would draw conclusions from these rage bait "studies". I'm trying to stay open-minded, but these are incredibly unserious papers that just serve Luddite agenda.

If someone has something more convincing than 2% statistical significance of n=40 people clicking mouse slightly slower I'm all ears.

For the people who believe this, I think it deeply reflects how they think about all knowledge and the kinds of things they would use this technology for- "finding the answers to things without having to think about them"- that's only one way to use it, and the least compelling way, in my opinion.

My $0.000002: You dont need a study to know delegating task X can make you worse at task X, nor do you need one to know its vacuously true and avoidable.
