Generative artificial intelligence dependency (GAID) is an emerging artificial intelligence disorder where users have a compulsive reliance on AI tools for tasks involving creativity, critical thinking, and emotional support.[1][2][3][4] The excessive offloading of individual agency to AI may stunt psychosocial development and critical thinking.[5]
