Chatgpt greatly simplified our lives. We are sure that you are resorting to artificial intelligence to solve daily problems, because it can do a lot of time for a second: it will quickly write the text on demand quickly, and provide a list of creative ideas, structures and much more. But what happens to our brain if we change the responsibility of our duties for artificial intelligence? This question was answered by scientists of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in an article published on the Arxiv.org website.
To work
The researchers conducted an experiment with the participation of 54 students divided into groups within four months. A group used a chatgpt to write an experiment, the second was the task on its own, but by calling information on the Internet, the third was based on knowledge.
Later, the participants from the group using AI were instructed to write a trial without getting help, and students working on their own were allowed to use chatgpt. All this time, scientists used electroencephalography observed the brain activity of the subjects. And the works were checked for the originality and logic of the narrative.
Solution
As a result, scientists concluded that the group, with the help of AI, observed weak brain activity. This is not surprising, because critical and creative thinking was not practically involved. In addition, when the same participants were given a task of writing an experiment without using the neural network, their brains remained stagnant and did not participate in the process. In addition, they did not claim the writing of the text and at least they could not remember some quotations.
In connection with the results of the study, experts introduced the concept of “cognitive debt – – an intellectual deficit accumulated when we often apply to Chatgpt. It turns out that we sacrifice our mental abilities for convenience and lightness. Therefore, our ability to quickly solve complex problems is dull.
How does not break?
Learn to combine AI and your own knowledge. As scientists have stated, after writing the experiment independently, they began to use AI for the same purpose, showing a unique combination of high neural activity and productivity. They believe that periodic use of neural networks can strengthen the existing skills.
Previously, we have already mentioned the issue of changing society under the influence of digital progress. In our material, a futurologist and psychologist explained what the rapid development of technology will lead to. And read here about whether AI can manipulate us.
