This is what Wikipedia would call a stub - it introduces an article with enough content to make it register on search engines, but with the full text hidden away behind a paywall. It's also a very lazy article - "a randomised experimental study in the lab setting" - suggesting "ChatGPT can significantly improve short-term task performance, but it may not boost intrinsic motivation and knowledge gain and transfer." Sure, students do better - but what about these vague and unmeasurable concerns like 'motivation' and 'metacognitive laziness'. I'd hide the paper behind a paywall too, lest anyone actually see it. I passed over an equally lazy article earlier today warning that AI agents may result in 'cognitive laziness'. It was about as sound as this formal academic publication.
