Opus 2025-514: AI Sydrome

A friend directed me toward an article out of MIT that was investigating the effect that AI crutches had on the people that used them.  The research was frightening but not surprising.  They found that people who used ChatGPT had serious reductions in their ability to think and process.  There was a clear difference.

This made me wonder if reading the material produced by AI would have the same effect.  Do we get dumber when we read the product of artificial thinking?

I would suggest you might even take another step and ask yourself if reading kind of garbage literature that has been forced on kits for the past 20 years in public schools would tend to make a brain degenerate.  Muscles develop and maintain strength through resistance and effort.  The brain is the same.
