Your brain works differently when you're using generative AI for a task than when you use your brain alone. Namely, you're less likely to remember what you did. That's the somewhat obvious-sounding conclusion of an MIT study that looked at how people think when they write an essay -- one of the earliest scientific studies of how using gen AI affects us.

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-04 07:10:50

As more users start relying on AI for writing tasks like email drafts and document summaries, one common frustration remains: the output often sounds way too generic.

In a new research paper (Aligning LLMs by Predicting Preferences from User Writing Samples) to be presented at the International Conference on
