There's yet another study about how bad AI is for our brains
TL;DR
A group of researchers from across the US and the UK have conducted a study on what AI does to our brains and the results are, in a word, grim. These results were published in a paper called "AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance" which kind of tells you everything you need to know. “We find that AI assistance improves immediate performance, but it comes at a heavy cognitive cost,” the study declares.
Nauti's Take
The study confirms what many suspect: AI assistance boosts short-term performance but carries the risk of weakening independent thinking over time. This isn't a reason to avoid AI — but a strong argument for deliberate use and regular AI-free practice routines.
The advantage goes to those who use AI as a supplement, not a substitute for their own thinking.
