by If you rely on the Chatbot Chatgt of artificial intelligence to help you write an essay, this can be associated with cognitive decline, a new study reveals.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab have examined the effects of chatt on the brain by asking three groups of people to write an essay. One group was based on chatt, one group was based on search engines, and a group had no external resources at all.
The researchers then monitor their brain with electroencephalography, a method that measures electrical activity.
The team discovered that those who had rely on Chatgpt – also known as a large language model – had the “weakest” brain connectivity and remembered the least of their essays and emphasize potential concerns about the cognitive decline in frequent users.
“Over four months, [large language model] Users who were consistently below average due to neuronal, linguistic and behavior levels ” [large language model] Trust and underline the need for a deeper examination of the role of AI when learning. “
The study also showed that those who did not use external resources to write the essays that “had“ strongest and distributed networks ”.
While Chatgpt is “efficient and comfortable”, those who use it are to write essays[ing] Each of them “in their storage networks, said the leading author Nataliya Kosmyna Time magazine.
Kosmyna said she was particularly concerned about the effects of chatt on children whose brains are still developing.
“What has really motivated me now to bring it out before I was waiting for a full check of the peer is that in 6-8 months I will be afraid that there will be a political decision-maker who will decide:” Let us do the GPT kindergarten, “said Kosmyna.” I think that would be absolutely bad and harmful. The development of brains consists of the highest risk. “
But others, including President Donald Trump and members of his administration, are not so concerned about the effects of chatt on the development of brains.
Trump signed an executive order in April to promote the integration of AI in American schools.
“To ensure that the United States in this technological revolution are worldwide, we have to give the young people of our nation the opportunity to promote the skills and understanding of the use and creation of the next generation of AI technology,” says the order. “By promoting AI competence, we will equip our students with the basic knowledge and skills that are necessary to adapt and to thrive them in an increasingly digital society.”
Kosmyna said her team is now working on another study in which the brain activity of software engineers and programmers are compared, the AI use with those who don’t.
“The results are worse,” she said Time Magazine.
