Roughly speaking, it's exactly what happens in the film The Last of Us: the parasite takes over the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, leaving us only the lower motor functions. And like zombies, we keep walking, waving our arms, suffering, feeling deep depression, animal euphoria, while the parasite pulls our strings in the prefrontal cortex (actually no) There's already a body of research on how interacting with large language models affects the brain in general (the answer: not great), and neurorehabilitation and preventive therapy: the CBT framework, a VR stimulator compensating for the effects of LLMs. Also interesting: alpha waves are affected more — that's meditation, self-reflection, deep contemplation, and all that snowflake-y stuff — while beta waves are affected less — that's execution, reflexive actions, decision-making, sharp and tidy, all of that. And memory also switches off (83% couldn't recount what they wrote in their essay, versus 11% in the control group) Host: Ark Business Where: Online · Telegram / YouTube Materials - 📑 Presentation - 🔗 arxiv.org - 🔗 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - 🔗 www.unleash.ai - 🔗 www.frontiersin.org View the original announcement →
