This MIT study suggests to me that the race for AI is one against time. If it's accurate (This was a small sample with a larger study in the works.) the people using Ai (presumably including those working to build AI for Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are undergoing rapidly deteriorating brain function.
This also puts into question plans to use AI in schools.

MIT Media LabYour Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine…

🧠 MIT recently completed the first brain-scan study on ChatGPT users—and the results are deeply revealing.
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged AI use may be dulling it.
Over four months of cognitive data suggest we might be measuring productivity all wrong ⤵️

Meanwhile... some Déjà vu all over again...

Some things never do change.

Sir #TrumpVirus remains someone with bottomless cluelessness & immorality, who seems to truly hate America - as well as everyone and everything which isn't rolling over to pay tribute and polish that terrific 'ego' of his.

Seems that terrific bod of his refuses to stay off the screen... even before #AI

#Truth vs #cluelessness.
This Toddler King is wearing no #cognitive clothes - only #narcissism & #malevolence

Speaking of #evil & #deranged #DJT

Sir #TrumpVirus with "all the best words" & terrific friends, from #Epstein to Hannibal Lecter. #Truth

#BrainSpurs acting up bigly... Look out! Retribution ahead!! Plus #distraction, #projection, #dissociation & #WordSalad

Poor Donnie! Our Toddler King with his terrific #cognitive clothes, so admired by the #GQP #cult.

Cognitive overload is a silent threat. It affects attention span, memory recall, decision-making, and task execution. When people are juggling too much information, when their workflows are fragmented, or when alerts are constant and overwhelming, they make mistakes. Not because they’re...

Although in the case of Sir #TrumpVirus, it's not just grandiosity combined with stupidity (and rage) but a whole lot of #cognitive & #psychopathology issues.

Seeing a few references to the dynamic of the stupidest being most wedded to the stupid, having no "mindfulness" or thinking skills to be aware (or care).

FWIW, one of the best , very short & sweet explanations of #DunningKruger comes from John Cleese, in one minute flat:

Ya think?

Could there possibly be something going on in the realm of our Emperor #TrumpVirus & his terrific #cognitive clothes?

It's not enough to sing to the choir. Anyone with open eyes, ears, and thinking can see a demented buffoon performing for an admiring audience of enablers... For them maybe he's totally normal.
#NOTNormal

My only quibble: The headline is misleading. ☮️ ⚠️

#Truth ™️

Time and time again...

It's either those #BrainSpurs acting up bigly, or just more of the #cognitive clothes that Emperor #TrumpVIrus wears before his admiring #cult of "I didn't see anything" believers + #disinformation #media

A tragic day as America plows into the iceberg and self-destructs, applauded by the #GQP #cult who did not even read the Big Bill of Goods (really, "Bads", in classic DJT #Doublespeak), destroying institutions of peace, health, education, & betterment of We the People.

Meanwhile, from my day-job life in #psychology / #cognitive science

Wow! Something I wrote long ago, off the cuff, really, has now been AI-reviewed!

Review of "A Perspective on Childhood and Adolescence: On the Roles of Focus, Learning, and Social Imperative" academia.edu/ai_review/1275548

This was something I quickly put together in response - years ago - to a request for commentary on the subject.

I think AI liked it.

Thin-sliced - Focus/attention/processing are good things! Endangered.

You don't need to be a psychologist to see it, but those of us with years of experience working with severe #psychopathology see it dripping out of every loose #cognitive seam.

"Executive function", corporate and human, executives of our own thinking need a) attention/focus b) reasoning, both abstract (concepts) & sequential (planning/consequences). Beyond that, ability at things required by a given task.

#TrumpVirus & #cult are 'disoriented'.
