Brain Scans of ChatGPT Users Reveal Troubling Results

An MIT study analyzing brain activity and recall while using ChatGPT shows a lack of overall brain connectivity while performing an essay writing task, as well as a deficiency in memory recall when compared with control groups.

MIT used EEG readings as well as interviews to score 54 subjects in a variety of brain experiments focused on the task of writing an essay. Subjects were divided into three groups based on the tools they were allowed to use: an LLM (large language model) group, a Search Engine group, and a Brain-only group.
