Study: Long-term reliance on large language models such as ChatGPT may damage cognitive abilities A research team from MIT, Wellesley College, and Massachusetts College of Art recently found that long-term reliance on large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT may impair cognitive abilities. The study showed that participants who used AI to write had only half the number of alpha wave connections in their brains as independent thinkers (42 vs. 79), and 83.3% were unable to accurately cite the content of their own articles. The researchers call this phenomenon "cognitive debt" - it reduces the burden of thinking in the short term but leads to a decline in critical thinking and creativity in the long term.
