Arthur BesseMIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline
terminhellIm sure kinda similar things were said about the internets mainstream early days and search engines.
I use some llm tools at work, but it’s either to dig through logs or making sure I didn’t forget basic troubleshooting steps.
That’s the thing about cognitive decline…
The people experiencing it only realize it’s happening during brief reprieves from the symptoms
So if someone is experiencing cognitive decline, they’re literally incapable of recognizing it. They all think they completely fine…
A constant refrain I’ve found myself using with a Facebook “friend” is “you lack the ability to even understand why you are wrong”. Like I’m convinced he actually thinks anecdotal stories carry as much weight as troves of data proving him wrong.
I bet you think you’re totally fine… ;)
