"LLM-to-Brain participants showed reduced alpha and beta connectivity, indicating under-engagement. Brain-to-LLM users exhibited higher memory recall and activation of occipito-parietal and prefrontal areas, similar to Search Engine users. Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential #cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at #neural, #linguistic, and #behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term #educational implications of #LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in #learning."
arXiv.orgYour Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing TaskThis study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition. In a fourth session, LLM users were reassigned to Brain-only group (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only users were reassigned to LLM condition (Brain-to-LLM). A total of 54 participants took part in Sessions 1-3, with 18 completing session 4. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess cognitive load during essay writing, and analyzed essays using NLP, as well as scoring essays with the help from human teachers and an AI judge. Across groups, NERs, n-gram patterns, and topic ontology showed within-group homogeneity. EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use. In session 4, LLM-to-Brain participants showed reduced alpha and beta connectivity, indicating under-engagement. Brain-to-LLM users exhibited higher memory recall and activation of occipito-parietal and prefrontal areas, similar to Search Engine users. Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.

Tough choice...
Honestly, at the bottom of the barrel, the nuance in the sludge is almost beside the point. We have an evil #Emperor with no #cognitive clothes (but a "big, beautiful, uh, brain" with the most terrific #BrainSpurs anyone's ever seen before. "Perfect, really".
Fascinating article on the impact of #silence on #brain and #cognitive function. I've long complained about the constant ambient noise created in US bars and restaurants (as compared to say European ones) and this seems to drive in a similar direction

I firmly believe that a general leading troops into battle doesn't do as much planning and plotting paths as I do.
Right off the bat, I got yelled at. And then berated. WTF! Right then. You won't be getting my money. I'll go to a different location.
Then there were the zombie youth working as cashiers. #Cognitive issues from too many bouts of #Covid? God's knows we didn't do the guinea pigs, er, I mean schoolkids any favors, pushing them to get exposed over and over.

#psychopathology like nobody's ever seen before - in a Toddler King Emperor with no #cognitive clothes....
Plenty of voices he listens to, none rational, and most are his own.
Sir #TrumpVIrus has joined the pantheon of cruelty, evil, & callousness, a la "let them eat cake".
Now: fewer toys, deal with it! Says our Emperor with 'new' & perfect #cognitive clothes.
From "We're bringing Christmas back again" to "No soup for you" & "beautiful clean coal" in your stocking" in 2 seconds flat.

Wow.
Interesting story, just because it's important to know this is actually real.
But *fascinating* for #psychology students, #psychiatrists & #mentalhealth experts.

there's nothing more fascinating &/or #truth - y than seeing it clearly with our own lyin' eyes.
There's nothing else to see. Our emperor - a delusional toddler-King, is wearing no #cognitive clothes! And only he knows how to respect The Pope! Then again, Sir said only he knows more about religion.
