Five preregistered experiments (N=3,132) found that merely having access to AI advice nearly eliminated participants' willingness to say "I don't know," even when the advice was deliberately wrong. This tripled answer volume but cut accuracy to roughly one-third, while confidence nearly doubled. Accuracy incentives partially mitigated the effect.

Controlled evidence that AI availability itself, independent of accuracy, suppresses epistemic caution. Relevant to anyone structuring workflows around AI assistance.
