Regular engagement with generative AI tools leads to measurable gains in analytical reasoning compared to non-users.

The available evidence does not support the claim that regular engagement with generative AI tools leads to measurable gains in analytical reasoning compared to non-users. Most sources point toward the opposite direction—suggesting risks of cognitive dependence, deskilling, and atrophy—while a few show conditional benefits contingent on AI literacy and metacognitive engagement.

Largest vulnerability: Significant uncertainty — methodological concerns is the main limit: 40% of sources rated low methodological quality.
