Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition. In a fourth session, LLM users were reassigned to Brain-only group (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only users were reassigned to LLM condition (Brain-to-LLM). A total of 54 participants took part in Sessions 1-3, with 18 completing session 4. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess cognitive load during essay writing, and analyzed essays using NLP, as well as scoring essays with the help from human teachers and an AI judge. Across groups, NERs, n-gram patterns, and topic ontology showed within-group homogeneity. EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use. In session 4, LLM-to-Brain participants showed reduced alpha and beta connectivity, indicating under-engagement. Brain-to-LLM users exhibited higher memory recall and activation of occipito-parietal and prefrontal areas, similar to Search Engine users. Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.

Neon City Outlaws A tabletop roleplaying game of cyberpunk heists and revolution.

Aces #ttrpg designers Scratchpad Publishing are inches away from funding another one of their "easy to play/deep design" games, this one in a living cyberpunk city that the players collaboratively build. I both play their games and steal FURIOUSLY from them for my homebrews.

It is SO CLOSE!!!!

The phone-friendly version of Follow: A New Fellowship came out so good I'm like, hey, why don't I make a mobile version of In This World too..?

Yeah I know. I had a lot of Kickstarters incoming at that time and often the customs fee from Deutsche Post ( 8 €) with the small actual customs fee really made this a bad deal. So I am happy if it is IOSS, that way it is actually cheaper.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I assumed Tax would come again on Top. But as it is included that is actually a good Deal. Thanks for your quick reply!

The Importance of Focus Or why D&D now feels bland Once upon a time, Dungeons & Dragons had a clear identity. It was a game about daring adventurers plunging into the unknown, looting ancient tombs, slaying monsters, and probably dying to a cle…

Interesting article. I had some similar thoughts when trying to make up my mind about D&D 2024. Being so generic, I believe, though that well designed settings with a strong focus can make a difference. Thoughts?

@malcolmcraig.bsky.social I remember way back when Contestedground was still ongoing you had a blurb for a game idea. Something with Empire in the name if I remember correctly. I found that always very intriguing but as far as I know you never published more info about that. Or did you?
