So, there was a study (not yet peer reviewed), and results probably surprises anyone.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.




The brain tends to relax more when it gets easily get things done without being stressed. In the right sense, the brain is not supposed to be kept dormant by allowing things easily without getting it involved in the solution process as it begins to deteriorate or tend to even forget what it already knows

The idea that humans only use 10% of the human brain has been considered as false lately following the most recent scientific discovery.
 Different parts of the brains are put to use at different times but when there is a stretch on the brain it tends to go beyond the limit it is as the moment.

The brain needs constant stretching to develop it as it can also go dormant if left without development
The use of AI in every procedure is a fast and easy way to make the brain weak and dormant it deteriorates easily as it can not creat any thing on its own or be innovative.
