Study 2, Deprivation effect of collaboration with ChatGPT on psychological experiences. Participants transitioning from collaboration with ChatGPT to solo work reported a significant increase in their sense of control, while those who worked independently on both tasks reported a significant decrease. Additionally, participants in both conditions experienced a notable decrease in intrinsic motivation and an increase in feelings of boredom. However, the differences in these changes between the two conditions were non-significant for intrinsic motivation and only marginally significant for feelings of boredom.
