BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.
Turns out, AI isn’t making us more productive. It’s making us cognitively bankrupt.
Here’s what 4 months of data revealed:
(hint: we’ve been measuring productivity all wrong)

People should read the [Study](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872) themselves.
A couple years ago I noticed myself using autocorrect way too much and turned it off. I need to see and fix my own mistakes or I’m not learning anything.
brb gonna ask chatgpt to give me a tldr
And we’re only getting started baby hahaaa :’)
HAHAHAHAAA
1000% he used AI to write this
The study is literally “is it easier (less cognitive energy) to write an essay with ChatGPT?”
Like obviously, that’s why people do it. It’s like asking is it harder to do math with or without a calculator? Obviously the answer is yes, and now I can’t to long division. Does this make me stupid? No.. I just have never been in a situation where I need to do long division.
There is no need to be from MIT to understand that AI-written essays is no better than stolen and reprinted – that’s why people who wrote an essay with an AI can’t quote from it.
I love that the tweets are written in such a way that they sound like they were written by AI.
What on Earth is “chronic AI users”, and who admits to being one, given that this technology is only 5 years old, and the first models weren’t much good for anything (and they still aren’t much) anyway?
Wow what are we going to do if kids aren’t kept busy writing essays
