Using artificial intelligence weakens memory, concentration and critical thinking. A recent study shows that participants who used ChatGPT while writing an essay showed lower cerebral activity and remembered much less of what they had written.

AI turns off memory and critical thinking. Humanity is in danger of intellectual reduction, but not only.

For thousands of years, every brilliant idea, choice, physical effort, etc., has been the spark that has prompted man to think, in the search for food.

While today, we live in an age and society that has made food quite accessible, but with hypercaloric and slightly healthy values, and where movement has been reduced, and we have already added AI, not even to think, increasing the number of everything ready.

Recently, MIT has confronted the cerebral activity of three groups of volunteers, who had the task of writing an essay.

The first group did the writing without any help, the second with help from Google and the third with Chatgpt.

According to the observation of the electrical activity of the brain, it turned out that the third group had significantly reduced cerebral connections, concentration many times more low, and the connection with the writing itself very superficial.

With the third group the test was repeated, and the people did not remember any of the points they had touched in the text when they were helped by chatgpt.

The studies continued, and the results were always the same. This is an indication that AI has made the brain and its activity lazy and put to sleep, which over time would have serious consequences for human intelligence and its limitation, putting to sleep creativity, the essential element that separates us as a species, and has led humanity to all its achievements.
