New research from MIT shows that ChatGPT abuse causes brain activity to decline, warning of the risk of losing the ability to think independently in users.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab first used EEG equipment to measure the brain activity of ChatGPT users while writing essays. The results showed that the brains of the AI group performed significantly worse than those of the handwriting group.
ChatGPT powered articles are judged to be lifeless, similar, and lacking in creativity. AI users don't remember what they wrote, suggesting that their brains don't process information deeply.
Meanwhile, the handwriting group had higher neural connectivity in areas of imagination and language processing. If used properly, AI can increase brain activity, but overuse can be counterproductive. Experts warn that AI could cause users to lose critical and creative thinking.
MIT urges caution when introducing AI into education , especially with children whose brains are still developing. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Australia tightens internet laws, bans children from watching YouTube | Nhan Dan Newspaper
