IS CHATGPT REALLY ROTTING OUR BRAINS?

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

MIT researchers found that students using ChatGPT showed less brain activity and couldn't remember a single sentence from essays they'd just written, while those writing without AI remembered 89% correctly. However, the study had major flaws: just 54 students writing 20-minute essays in a lab doesn't reflect real-world AI use. The key is staying mentally engaged - use AI to challenge your ideas, not replace your thinking entirely.
