In simple words, AI makes you think less 🥴
According to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), two groups of people were asked about their reasons for using Chat GPT. Some got more benefits by improving their abilities with the tool, such as verifying sources and improving writing. However, others fully relied on it, to the point of copying and pasting what it told them.
The main result showed that brain activity decreases by 55 % when using AI deliberately.
“Although Artificial Intelligence can improve efficiency, it also inhibits critical engagement with work and leads to long-term dependence and a decline in the ability to solve problems independently“, the study concluded.
