AI chatbots like ChatGPT have created a dependence among users, resulting in poor decision-making and cognitive decline. Individuals labeled as "sloppers" rely on AI for daily decisions, which can lead to decreased effectiveness in writing and memory. Research indicates that users who depend heavily on AI show lower confidence and less critical thinking. However, there is potential for accelerated learning through AI when used strategically, such as consulting it after initial brainstorming to enhance thought processes.
A MIT study published in June found that people using ChatGPT wrote less effectively, scoring lower on memory, focus, and critical thinking tests than those who wrote solo or with search engines.
The over-reliance on chatbots leads to something researchers call "cognitive debt," where the ability to remember and analyze declines.
An MIT study showed that EEGs revealed the largest drop in brain activity and recall in people under 30.
You can be an AI super-learner by consulting AI at the end of an email or report to regain your capacity to write and think.
