WARNING ! AI rots your Brain

michaelkellett 4 months ago

From yesterdays Telegraph:

The article is based on work done at MIT

https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/overview/

https://www.brainonllm.com/

If you follow the second link you can eventually find .pdf of the full research paper (if you've been using ChatGPT a lot recently you may struggle.)

You have been warned !

Just makes me thinking..
Auto-complete has been playing a big role in people's ability to remember spellings and details.
Even while coding I have noticed that those who use auto complete don't tend to remember the details of the functions etc.

That leaves more brain bandwidth for other things. There are so many APIs out there. It may make sense to memorise the ones you use daily. But all others: let the tools do the work?

Fair point! But will it affect the ability of people to focus on details? I am not saying they have to remember all the APIs. What I have seen is ( especially while taking interviews ) people who are so used to autocomplete struggles to put a fully functional code in place, even with some basic functions.

We often forget, especially in human resources, that the purpose of hiring is to bring in people who can solve problems, not people who are just good at interviews.
