Sure, but the study is saying something slightly different, it's not that people write bad prompts for artifacts, they actually write better ones (more specific, more examples, clearer goals,...). They just stop evaluating the result. So the input quality goes up but the quality control goes down.

So I guess the key takeaway is basically that the better Claude gets at producing polished output, the less users bother questioning it. They found that artifact conversations have lower rates of fact-checking and reasoning challenges across the board. That's kind of an uncomfortable loop for a company selling increasingly capable models.

The real insight buried in here is "build what programmers love and everyone will follow." If every user has an agent that can write code against your product, your API docs become your actual product. That's a massive shift.
