Okay, no, I can't answer this question; no one can, yet. But I got the chance to look at a fun new brain scan study of students writing essays with ChatGPT, Google, or the old fashioned way, using 'just their brains'.
Unsurprisingly, students who wrote essays with a chatbot didn't show as much brain 'connectivity' (widespread talk from one region of the brain to another). In other words, their brains were less engaged. No shocker there. But there are some more subtle findings that are interesting. PS - anyone seen a study of how calculators change our brains? How about typewriters? YouTube? Cat videos?
