A study at MIT involving over fifty students examined the effects of AI assistance on essay writing. Students were divided into three groups: one relying solely on their knowledge, one using Google Search, and the last using ChatGPT. The findings indicated significant reductions in brain activity and connectivity in the AI group, with many students expressing a lack of ownership over their essays. Furthermore, the AI-generated texts tended to homogenize responses, illustrating the cognitive costs of using AI for creative tasks.
The results showed a dramatic discrepancy: subjects who used ChatGPT demonstrated much less brain activity than either of the other groups.
L.L.M. users felt 'no ownership whatsoever' over the essays they'd produced, with 80% unable to quote from what they'd supposedly written.
