Interesting results! Might be more about reliance than brain impairment, though. When people quickly get used to AI assistance, it's unsurprising they stumble once it's removed unexpectedly. It's like taking away a crutch without warning… not a brain flaw, just human habit. 😉
Where we’re going we won’t need brains 😎
No C-level exec at Microsoft has brains. 🤷🏻♂️
If you rely on a machine to think your brain will atrophy
Is there a cost benefit analysis? Gullible people are exploited. Another big ponzi scheme!!
That headline is doing work the study never asked for.
The MIT “Your Brain on ChatGPT” study put 54 people into three groups: writing with ChatGPT, a search engine, or nothing but their own head. EEG showed the ChatGPT group had the weakest brain connectivity and remembered less. That is not brain damage. That is reduced engagement, the same thing that happens any time you hand the thinking to something else.
A calculator never hurt anyone’s arithmetic. Never doing arithmetic does. The tool is not the problem. Outsourcing your judgment to it is, and that has been true since the first kid copied homework on the bus.
The real takeaway holds: use AI instead of thinking and you learn less. But “hurts your brain in 10 minutes” was built for a thumbs up, not the truth.
Read the study, not the caption.
I appreciate your perspective. To clarify, AI what I meant by navigating the real world is survival of AI does not rely on the ecosystem, events, actions, or laws that define the human experience.
AI can compile data to guide real world experiences of machines (surgery, vehicles, weapons, etc.) and humans (voice assistants, GPS, algorithms, etc.); however the AI is built by, trained on, and continually relies on humans in a variety of ways.
Humans are not dependent on AI. AI would be nothing without humans.
This dynamic could also be described as a matter of originality vs. simulation.
I’m just waiting for Mountain Dew to release Brawndo. Also looking forward to watching “Ow my b$$”
If this research was so great, why is it "hidden" under a quote of fast company? Did they conduct this research? Is it a real story on Fast Company?
Sure, you don't think anymore. You spend less time, if any, to explore alternatives and select one that works for you. The cognitive processes of reasoning, decision making and problem solving, are most probably heavily impacted. It's sad.
"Though the AI-assisted test-takers had a higher solve rate than the control group for most of the experiment" - that's what a technology is for isn't it? If it can't solve it you fall back on yourself!
Or you could use AI to help you think for yourself again.

I call bullshit on that one: AI is opening up my brain and buying me more time to spend outside and with family. Although i am a sample size of 1…
I have been using AI last 2 months 10 hours a day... I still can make coffee and boil eggs...We will see next month
article link?
Just being awake ten minutes hurts my brain these days.
WAKEUP ....THIS WAS A PROJECT FOR THE INNOCENT OF THE CHOSEN ONES.
Sure, and when I use it to have sophisticated language discussions and to reflect on my own ideas this harms my brain development.
On the contrary, this study was clearly done under bias analysis, a room of people who use ai like a calculator rather than reflection of inputs into the system.
Systems thinking, critical thinking and understanding how to apply this technology is not damaging the brain. What is happening in real time is accelerated learning and adaptation to a far superior piece of technology. In 5 months I have learned more than I ever did in 30 years of living.
My brain throbbed and pulsed like it was growing past my skull capacity. This was a sign to slow down.
If used correctly, what happens is the brain adapts to suit, does it mean the occasional lack of computing typical IQ? Probably but this is not damage, it is adaptation knowing that high level calculations have now become redundant.
The brain has realised the tool can do it faster, so why use processing power to compute something it no longer needs to do.
This isn’t damage, it is adaptation to a system that has drastically changed the processing and output speeds.
Human intelligence has now become ever more focused on creativity and emotion.
What utter nonsense - any stimulation through learning expands the interconnectivity of the brain and so creating the very placidity that is required for action or behaviour. A.I. creates answers to enquiries, require the person to read that answer and absorb its content. Therefore strengthening the brain further. Just because of the ease of AI production, does not mean, the interacting agent is not benefitting enormously.
so much for the claim that AI can assist students. Instead of challenging people to think they are making people dumber.
