MIT Study Finds Using ChatGPT Lowers Brain Activity | NTD
Researchers at MIT conducted a study to analyze the impact of using large language model chatbots on cognitive abilities. The study involved three groups of participants who were tasked with writing essays while utilizing ChatGPT. The findings revealed that individuals who used ChatGPT during the essay writing process exhibited a reduction in neural activity.
Further research is required to understand the long-term effects of relying on artificial intelligence tools for cognitive tasks. Some experts suggest that while ChatGPT and similar tools offer convenience, they may have unintended consequences on cognitive processes.
