337 - Cognitive Surrender - Gideon Nave and Steven D. Shaw
S
42:26speaker_8UNKNOWN
What do you have to say about this? What did you learn from all this, and what are your thoughts on it in general?
S
42:31Steven D. ShawGUEST
And that's, uh, I would say another core distinction between cognitive offloading and cognitive surrender.
S
42:37Steven D. ShawGUEST
In the paper, we delineate those, right? And with cognitive offloading, we say it's strategic delegation, and you are still maintaining that agency.
S
42:45Steven D. ShawGUEST
You're choosing and being deliberate about which tasks are, and components are being offloaded.
S
42:52Steven D. ShawGUEST
With cognitive surrender, we say that the agency is being transferred to system three, transferred to AI, right? And so the locus of control of decision making is in the artificial cognition rather than in your own mind.
S
43:07Steven D. ShawGUEST
And w-we say that, uh, people adopt it as their own, and we look at some metacognition.
