A preregistered experiment compared AI advisors that selectively abstain from giving advice with those that always advise during repeated financial decisions. Abstention increased advice acceptance among users with high perceived expertise but decreased it among low-expertise users, driven by differential cognitive burden.

Counterintuitive finding that an AI's choice to stay silent affects users differently by expertise level. Directly relevant to designing AI agents integrated into decision workflows.
