So, there was a study (not yet peer reviewed), and results probably surprises anyone.
Group's brains were measured with a method known as Dynamic Directed Transfer Function (dDTF), that basically measures connections on the brain.
It was measured on using LLMs during tasks, using search engines, and using just their own skills unaided.
And compared to baseline (not surprisingly) LLM group had significant drop in brain activity.
My take from this is that, in a long run, if unaided group would keep using their brains for tasks, they would develop their brain because of training, while AI group would eventually lose even their existing skills (at least when it comes to writing essays). Because if you don't use your brains, those connections on the brains wouldn't be needed either.
There are ways to use AI that benefits people, but using that for your creative work, or anything that needs brains is just killing your brains.
Isn't this what we all want? A means to make life easier. If AI is going to do every job for us, why bother using our human brains? Or are we worried that AI might eventually go extinct and humans will be left stranded because they can no longer figure out anything on their own without the help of AI?Group's brains were measured with a method known as Dynamic Directed Transfer Function (dDTF), that basically measures connections on the brain.

If you all must know, AI is here to stay. Rather than worrying about things that may not be relevant, we should start teaching our kids the proper use of AI so they don't abuse it. They might even figure out on their own things AI can do for us that we are not yet aware of. Enjoy the privilege of having AI around
