EEG study from MIT found that people who wrote essays with ChatGPT showed the weakest brain connectivity of any group, and when later asked to write unaided, their brains stayed under-engaged compared to people who never used AI. Read Full Article #AIethics…
🧠 Study of 54 participants over 4 months reveals LLM use may decrease learning skills, with participants performing worse than those using only search engines or no tools.
📊 Brain activity (EEG) showed LLM users had weaker neural connectivity, reflecting less cognitive engagement compared to search engine or "brain-only" groups.
✍️ LLM users reported low ownership of their essays and had difficulty recalling their own writing, unlike those who used search engines or wrote independently.
⏳ Preliminary results suggest a "cognitive cost" to LLM use in essay writing, impacting neural, linguistic, and scoring performance over a 4-month study period.
