I'm a neuroscientist and would NEVER use ChatGPT. I've seen what this 'essential' tool does to brains - both young and old. These are the tests you can do today to see if you're already affected

With millions using OpenAI's ChatGPT app daily to make life'easier', experts have issued a warning about the risks it may have on the brain. Cognitive neuroscientist and author Dr Jared Cooney Horvath never uses ChatGPT - and recommends others do the same because the risks outweigh the benefits. While the possibilities of the AI chatbot seem endless, it's giving rise to'digital dependence' as people will'no longer have the skill or knowledge' to complete the task themselves. Dr Horvath, the 42-year-old creator of The Learning Blueprint metacognition program, told Daily Mail that ChatGPT could kill your memory, fracture your attention span and wreck your creativity over time. 'Everything we know about how these tools work suggests that they're not going to be good in the long term,' he said.
