New study reveals cognitive costs of LLM-assisted essay writing. EEG shows weaker brain connectivity in LLM users vs. Search Engine & Brain-only groups. LLM users also reported lower essay ownership & struggled with quoting. Findings urge caution in AI reliance in education

It is *literally impossible* to have reliable guardrails on LLMs. More research is coming out on this.
But,remember: ll LLM CEOs have admitted they don't understand how their product works. Prob not good look in court.

5/🧵 Relational analysis also identified a role of the dorsal striatum. Despite not being typically seen as an area for semantic coding, striatal regions robustly represent relational content, and the strength of this representation predicts participants’ judgments about item pairs

4/🧵 We used LLM embeddings to model neural representations via fMRI and RSA, which revealed dissociations in information processing. Occipitotemporal structures parse concepts but not relations. Conversely, frontoparietal regions (especially the PFC) almost exclusively encode relational information
