The study, from MIT Lab scholars, measured the brain activity of subjects writing SAT essays with and without ChatGPT.
'ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.”...ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.'
