Is what I would say if AI hadn’t made me lazy and stupid :(

These kinds of psychology experiments are my pet peeve and not just the ones about AI. Expose a group of people to something for 15 minutes, then measure something artificial in the next 15 minutes, and then use these results to make a headline about the long-term effects of that something.

New media making you dumb is a repeating claim. My mother was called out by her parents that reading too much hurts her eyes and Karl May stories will make her dumb. Then it was TV that makes us dumb and then it was Google and the internet. It is the same narrative with any new media.
