It is worth noting that this study was tbh pretty poorly performed from a psychology/neuroscience perspective and the neuro community was kind of roasting their results as uninterpretable.

Their trial design and interpretation of results is not properly done (i.e. they are making unfair comparison of LLM users to non-LLM users), so they can't really make the kind of claims they are making.

This would not stand up to peer review in it's current form.

I'm also saying this as someone who generally does believe these declines exist, but this is not the evidence it claims to be.

Do you have links or citations to people saying these claims?

It was a bluesky thread I've since lost (lame I know). This article summarizes the issues well: https://residualinsights.com/all-hype-no-bite-your-brain-on-...

Comes down to: - Self selection bias - Trial design - Dubious intepretations of neural connectivity
