Study reveals growing trust in AI instructions, echoing historical patterns

A recent study suggests that people are increasingly willing to follow instructions from AI models like ChatGPT, mirroring historical tendencies to trust authoritative sources. This reliance on AI, even when its outputs may be inaccurate or misleading, is a concern for some observers who believe that a trust in marketers over engineers has contributed to this trend. The study highlights a potential societal shift towards accepting AI-generated information without critical evaluation. AI
