The researchers also found that “users with access to GenAI tools produce a less diverse set of outcomes for the same task, compared to those without.

This is their observation.

This tendency for convergence reflects a lack of personal, contextualised, critical and reflective judgement of AI output and thus can be interpreted as a deterioration of critical thinking.”

This is just speculation. They have no actual evidence this is the case.

So the irony of the study is they used poor critical thinking skills to evaluate the critical thinking skills of others.
