Note: this lemmy post was originally titled MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline and linked to this article, which I cross-posted from this post in !fuck_ai@lemmy.world.
Someone pointed out that the “Science, Public Health Policy and the Law” website which published this click-bait summary of the MIT study is not a reputable publication deserving of traffic, so, 16 hours after posting it I am editing this post (as well as the two other cross-posts I made of it) to link to MIT’s page about the study instead.
The actual paper is here and was previously posted on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world and other lemmy communities here.
Note that the study with its original title got far less upvotes than the click-bait summary did 🤡
so avoid LLMs entirely when programming and also studying AI/ML isnt a good idea?
Probably studying AI/ML or security is a fine choice if that’s what you want to do. But if you want to go into CS, it’s probably not a bad choice to do. IMO it’s much less likely that AI will completely replace all or even many engineers (or people in other industries).
I do not see how it can be a good or bad idea. Do whatever you want to do, however is best for you
