Frequent Use of ChatGPT Dulls Critical Thinking

Frequent use of ChatGPT dulls critical thinking in humans. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a study on the impact of AI on the human brain. The study involved 54 participants aged 18-39 years. The participants were divided into 3 groups: those who wrote essays using ChatGPT, those who wrote using Google, and those who used no tools. The group that used ChatGPT had the lowest brain activity. Areas of the brain responsible for creativity and thinking were not engaged. Importantly, ChatGPT increased productivity by 60% but reduced cognitive abilities by 32%.
