Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A recent MIT study investigated the cognitive effects of using ChatGPT for essay writing. The study found that students who relied on ChatGPT experienced weakened brain connectivity, impaired memory recall, and a diminished sense of authorship. EEG scans revealed decreased neural activity, especially in areas related to attention and visual processing.
