AI chatbots could be making you stupider

7 hours ago

Researchers warn that over-reliance on AI chatbots like ChatGPT may reduce brain activity and cognitive functions such as memory and creativity.
Studies show that using AI for tasks like writing can lead to lower brain activation, less originality, and poorer recall of information.
Long-term effects could include cognitive decline and increased risk of dementia, as mental effort is crucial for brain health.
To mitigate risks, experts recommend using AI as a tool to challenge thinking rather than outsourcing tasks entirely.
