I don't understand why people keep sharing these studies like this is surprising, or inherently bad.
Do our brains work as hard when we use a calculator, as when we do mental math? Of course not, that's literally the entire point. Why has this been fine for every invention, until now?

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
