AI users are increasingly relying on chatbots to make personal decisions like what to eat, wear, or text, raising concerns among researchers about diminishing critical thinking skills. Experts warn that over-reliance on AI could weaken cognitive abilities and allow AI to shape beliefs, as seen in cases where individuals outsourced major life choices to tools like Anthropic's Claude. Apps like Moot are explicitly designed to automate decision-making.
