Highlights

  • In the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), even though Chatgpt may have revolutionized, a recent study has highlighted its dangerous aspects. Research found that the frequent use of chatgpt can reduce humans' thinking ability and people start taking wrong decisions on it.

Technology News:While ChatGPT has undoubtedly revolutionized the field of Artificial Intelligence, a recent study has raised serious concerns about its long-term effects. The research suggests that frequent use of AI tools like ChatGPT can impair human cognitive abilities, particularly critical thinking and decision-making skills. Users who rely too heavily on AI-generated content often fail to verify information, leading to a decline in independent thought. This dependency can result in individuals making poor or misguided decisions, driven by misplaced trust in the accuracy of AI outputs. The study underscores the need for balanced, mindful AI usage to preserve cognitive functions.

Chatgpt: Revolution or danger?

In the last few years, generative AI tools like Chatgpt have made the lives of common people easier. With this, students, writers, businessmen and technical experts are all dealing with their actions rapidly. But now questions are arising - is this facility making human mind sluggish?

What does a new study say?

This study made by researchers at Harvard University and MIT has revealed that those who use Chatgpt or similar AI tools repeatedly lose their ability to think and analyze. They do not have a habit of checking or verifying any information.

Decance to decline in decision capacity

Research saw that when the participants were given answers suggested by Chatgpt, they accepted them without any doubt or evaluation. This concluded that AI's tendency to blindly trust the answers is increasing.

Danger of misinformation

Chatgpt, although is based on advanced technology, but errors are possible. Sometimes it messes up in facts or gives wrong suggestions. In such a situation, if the users become completely dependent on it, then the result may be wrong decision or misleading information.

Mind is becoming lazy

Another side effect of excessive dependence on AI is that man stops thinking himself and solving problems. This not only reduces its creativity, but also affects mental agility.

Experts warning

Experts say tools such as Chatgpt should be used as an assistant, not as the only source. Humans should confirm the information and analyze themselves, only then they can avoid wrong information.

What to do, what not to do

  • Use AI for guidance, take the final decision yourself.
  • Check the veracity of facts from other sources.
  • Do not leave the process of thinking and learning.
  • Take Chatgpt like a teacher, but keep the brain a student.

The role of government and education world

Researchers suggested that clear guidelines should be prepared regarding the use of AI in schools, colleges and government policies. Students should be taught to make a balanced and prudent use of technology.
