Скачать или смотреть How Using AI Like ChatGPT Affects Your Brain: Cognitive Impact of Large Language Models

How does relying on AI like ChatGPT affect our brain and thinking skills? In this biocast, we explore a groundbreaking study that measured brain activity and essay performance of university students writing with Large Language Models (LLMs), search engines, or no external tools over four months.

Using EEG brain scans and advanced natural language processing, researchers discovered that writing with LLMs reduces neural connectivity, indicating lower cognitive engagement and effort. In contrast, writing without AI sparked stronger brain network activity associated with critical thinking, creativity, and executive control.

While AI tools offer incredible convenience, this study highlights the risk of diminished cognitive development if overused. We discuss the importance of balancing AI assistance with independent learning to foster problem-solving skills and deeper thinking.
