Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab
www.media.mit.edu
This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and …

Note: this lemmy post was originally titled MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline and linked to this article, which I cross-posted from this post in [email protected].

Someone pointed out that the “Science, Public Health Policy and the Law” website which published this click-bait summary of the MIT study is not a reputable publication deserving of traffic, so, 16 hours after posting it I am editing this post (as well as the two other cross-posts I made of it) to link to MIT’s page about the study instead.

The actual paper is here and was previously posted on [email protected] and other lemmy communities here.

Note that the study with its original title got far less upvotes than the click-bait summary did 🤡

    Engineers be like…

    1041/365 =2,852

    .852*365=310.980

    Thus 2 y 311 d. Or really, fuck it 3 y

    Edit. #til

    The lemmy app on my phone does basic calculator functions.

      Seems about right! But really, it often seems pretty useful to me, since it removes a lot of unnecessary information thoughout a content feed or thread, though I usually still want to be able to see the exact date and time when tapping or hovering over the value for further context.

      Edit: However, the lemmy client I use, Eternity, shows the entire date and time for each comment instead of the age of it, and I’m fine with that too, but unsure what I actually prefer…

      Which client and how?
