What we're running into here is Bloom's revised taxonomy in action. The lowest tier of learning is remembering or recall. What normies are doing with ChatGPT is using it to replace their ability to recall. Some people jump to that next level and use it to try to understand what is being recalled for them.
For most people, it ends there. Some engineers are definitely using AI to apply, and to analyze.
Only the most insane and reckless are using evaluate and make decisions for them (the more sane just use it to get a feel for things). As for truly creating unique and new things, AI is seemingly too derivative right now to do that on its own without a significant human hand in the process.

Either way, normies are stopping at the very bottom of this pyramid and tossing everything else out, never making that further step. I think that's what this study is working towards.
I don't necessarily think this is a new phenomenon, people did the same thing with Wikipedia when it was new, blatantly copy/pasting it, citing it as pure gospel without a single thought in their head, but of course that didn't cover anything and everything you could ask it like LLMs do.
