arXiv:2610.00163v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complex problem solving depends on acting effectively and understanding how a system works. AI advice may support these outcomes unequally. Two preregistered experiments compared participants managing a simulated clothing factory with and without an LLM advisor. Across studies, AI-supported participants reported greater confidence and understanding with less effort. In the first study (N=200), assistance increased company value but produced no detectable prediction-accuracy difference. After withdrawal, previously supported participants outperf
