This is why critical thinking skills taught at university are so important. Knowledge of how to use ChatGPT but the specialist understanding and skill to critique what it tells you. It is the differentiator for university graduates when applying for jobs. Here is a link to the study, for those interested https://lnkd.in/ex3-dKqB Bishop Grosseteste University Business at BGU REPOST 🚨 BREAKING: MIT recently ran the first brain-scan study on people using ChatGPT, and the results are quite unsettling. They found that people who relied on AI to write essays couldn’t remember what they wrote, literally minutes after submitting. Over 80% of them failed to recall even a single sentence. In contrast, those who wrote without AI remembered their content just fine. Brain scans also revealed a nearly 50% drop in mental engagement when using ChatGPT. That mental drop persisted even after the AI was taken away. It’s not just reliance, it’s like the brain forgets how to engage, the way a muscle weakens when it’s not being used. Even the essays themselves, though well-written, were described as “soulless” and “lacking insight.” They were technically sound but emotionally flat. Efficient, yet empty. There’s something deeper going on here. Yes, AI speeds up tasks, but it also reduces the mental effort required to think, wrestle, and learn. MIT found that the kind of deep cognitive load necessary for real learning dropped by 32% when ChatGPT was involved. Interestingly, the most successful group in the study didn’t avoid AI entirely. They just didn’t start with it. They did the thinking first, then used AI to sharpen their work. Their brains stayed active, their memory stayed intact, and their results were better across the board. You see, AI isn’t the enemy but using it too early and too often might be dulling the very thing we’re trying to enhance (our minds). The danger isn’t in using AI. It’s in forgetting how to think without it. Source: Daily Mail

✅ Yes, an MIT study shows decreased brain activity and short-term memory when writing with ChatGPT. But no, it doesn’t prove AI makes you dumber. ☑️ What the study gets right: controlled experiment with EEG and three groups (ChatGPT, Google, brain-only). Result: AI users remembered less of what they wrote and showed lower mental engagement. ❌ What it gets wrong: – The sample was tiny (18 Boston students remaining at the end of the session). – Sessions were too short (20 mins ≠ long-term learning). – EEG ≠ intelligence: less activity can mean more efficiency. – No memory or knowledge transfer tests. – Forced AI use = artificial setup, not real-world behavior. 👉What it really shows: used poorly, AI can lead to lazy thinking. Used well — after your own ideas — it can improve clarity, retention, and quality. That’s why critical thinking skills taught in college matter: knowing how to use AI and how to question it. That’s what sets graduates apart in the job market. 📖 Source : https://www.media.mit.edu/publications/your-brain-on-chatgpt/
