MIT conducted a study: People were scanned with brain imaging while using ChatGPT. The result is surprising.

83.3% of participants couldn't remember even a single sentence they wrote just minutes earlier. In contrast, those who wrote without AI remembered everything.

While artificial intelligence makes things easier for us, are we losing our memory? Maybe our brains are thinking "AI will do this" and stop storing information.

83% forgetting rate? No wonder I can never remember anything—turns out AI has stolen my brain.

ngl this research is kind of scary, the more we rely on AI the lazier our brains actually get... --- 83% of people can't even remember what they wrote themselves, that's just insane --- It's probably just a habit issue, after AI helps you write, your brain just shuts off automatically --- So using AI to write stuff really does hurt your brain, no wonder young people have such bad memories nowadays --- Wait, is this data real? Feels a bit exaggerated --- AI should have been regulated a long time ago, if this keeps up, human brain capacity is going to be ruined --- Exactly, now I ask AI about everything, there's nothing left in my own brain haha --- That's why you need to use AI in moderation, you can't rely on it completely

This guy really hit the nail on the head. Nowadays, I have to rely on AI to jog my memory whenever I write something—I can't remember anything myself.

Isn't this research just trying to scare us... I've been using ChatGPT for two years and I actually feel like my mind is even clearer.
