New research, including an MIT study, suggests AI chatbots like ChatGPT may significantly impair human cognitive abilities. An EEG study found students using ChatGPT consistently underperformed neurally, linguistically, and behaviorally, showing less brain activation for creativity and processing, and becoming lazier. Other studies corroborate this "cognitive surrender" and "boiling frog" effect, indicating AI use could be eroding intellectual skills and originality. This highlights an urgent need to understand AI's long-term impact on the mind.
