An MIT study found ChatGPT users work 60% faster but experience a 32% drop in germane cognitive load, the mental effort needed to actually learn. The trade-off: you get faster at tasks while your brain atrophies.

Here's where AI is actually making you stupider. So there is this report over here. I'm just quoting from this report. MIT completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users and the results are terrifying. So yes, ChatGPT makes you 60% faster at completing tasks, but it reduces the quote unquote germane cognitive load needed for actual learning by 32%. What you're doing is you're trading long-term brain capacity for short-term speed, right? So we're managing to become stupider but more productive.
