It’s getting worse and worse.

New study shows experts completely surrender their judgments to AI, and they don’t even realise it.

Fifty professional analysts used Claude Code to analyse data and advise a fictional farming cooperative. They faced four analytical decisions, followed by a final policy recommendation.

Unknown to them, AI advice was experimentally manipulated to lean towards opposite directions.

The results are disturbing.

Across the four analytical decisions, experts chose the AI’s preferred option 86% of the time.

Afterwards, half of the experts rated the final recommendation as more their own than the AI’s, and only 15% mentioned the AI in any explanation.

Epistemia is reaching the experts: we risk outsourcing judgment while preserving the illusion of intellectual independence.

What could possibly go wrong?
