A new MIT study, Your Brain on ChatGPT, reveals that relying on ChatGPT for essay writing causes long-term cognitive harm. EEG scans showed students who used AI assistants repeatedly experienced weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and reduced ownership of their writing. Although AI-generated essays scored well, the study suggests heavy dependence may negatively affect brain function and learning over time.
