Collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) has attracted attention for its potential to enhance performance beyond what AI alone can achieve. The advent of accessible large language models (LLMs), such as GPT and LLaMa, has accelerated research into effective human-AI collaboration, especially in education. Although previous studies focused on improving AI performance, little is known about how user-specific traits, such as interpersonal skills, affect collaboration outcomes. This study addresses this performance when completing them independently versus with ChatGPT. We then analyzed how improvements in performance were related to the interpersonal skills. The results show that participants with lower interpersonal skills were more likely to accept ChatGPT’s output, showing sensitivity to AI performance. i.e., if an AI is powerful, the human becomes more powerful. vice versa. These findings suggest that interpersonal skills significantly shape how users critically engage with AI-generated content.
