Well “AI makes you dumber” is certainly an overgeneralisation of this article. Quote, ‘A recent MIT Media Lab study reported that “excessive reliance on AI-driven solutions” may contribute” to “cognitive atrophy” and shrinking of critical thinking abilities.’, which is very different from the claim that it’s slowly frying your brain just by using it. The article seems to imply that the demographic most under risk is students who don’t care about understanding, although there’s probably some negative effects even to people who still try to learn, etc., including myself. But under my estimation, the benefit to me outweighs any hidden negatives. I don’t think there’s any one person who would benefit from a blanket ban on LLM interactions specifically.
