Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? High-quality AI on hard tasks yields the highest regret (0.441) but not the highest overreliance (0.119), with very low self-reliance (RSR 0.045). → Ahana Biswas 2026

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
Simulation final states across the four regime cells (Table 3, 20 seeds, CI ≤ 0.01), with regret the primary normative metric. The cell for high-quality AI on hard tasks shows "thehighest regret(0.441)" while "agents over-defer and rarely self-rely (RSR 0.045)".
"high-quality AI on hard tasks has thehighest regret(0.441) but not the highest overreliance (0.119)—agents over-defer and rarely self-rely (RSR 0.045)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In the agent-based model, task difficulty and AI quality set the baseline level of overreliance, with difficulty the dominant global factor — related
- In the model, interventions that alter the feedback channel (verification visibility, social-proof damping) reduce overreliance and regret, while lowering verification cost alone does not lower regret — related
- Theoretical quality of both theory-based and non-theory agents remains stable across Easy, Medium, and Hard scenario difficulty levels — related
