It makes sense, the brain is a muscle, it needs to work out...

That's why I always limit the use of AI in my children's schoolwork, especially in math. I teach my children to count manually using their fingers.

What about Claude user

I thinks it's good as a soundboard for thinking. Bad as a replacement for thinking.

Just turn off the electronics and live like the Amish

How did they measure their brains beforehand? They had their scans from before AI made it into the public? Control group never used AI? A lot of questions left unanswered, I guess we will have to read through the case study in its entirety. Trusting science these days is quite a leap of faith.

Reminds me of a female athlete I work with, who told me she gets GPT to write her essays, but changes the words to "make it hers". Had to explain to her that she's letting the computer think for her. Changing the words doesn't make the thoughts hers. She should instead write down her own thoughts a...

Maybe we should water our plants with Brawndo. It’s got electrolytes!

Well that explains why I've become so retarded.

Let's hope AI stays where it is at, does not get any data centres and RAM and PC component prices crash back to what they were in 2022-23 so that we all can finally own our compute.

Because AI just agrees with everything you say.

I noticed some kind of thinking degradation on harder tasks. But, because I deliberately use free dumber online AIs, I often have to correct it, and I think this keeps the brain from a complete drift into nothing. So yeah, it's very possible that interacting daily with a bigger model will degrade th...

I'm curious if this is at all different than doing the same thing with Reddit

now we know what happened to nostr:npub1xy04u0vum29hx3j6kzm9raaykakg6ru3kcgg88pywxqaxusyytsqvrpf8a

Don't buy this at all. I would argue that it will enhance both.. If you're already stupid, itbeill make you more stupid. Of you're already intelligent, it will enhance that as well.

Like saying calculator makes your brain worse. Maybe in the moment as your not doing the calculation in your head. Like any tool it's how you use it

Plenty of atrophied brains out there

source?

If you’re using it like Google to answer a question for you without thinking at all then probably yes. If you’re using it to bounce ideas off and build then I highly doubt it.

It's my experience that AI is the retarded one. It spits out ridiculous nonsense all the time.

Same with every crutch. Use it to think and you stop thinking. Go sit in silence for an hour, it's free.
