MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline

I hate this "early stages" argument. It either works, or it doesn't. If it works sometimes that's called "alpha software" and should not be released and hyped as a finished product. The early stages of the GUI paradigm at release started with a fully working GUI. Windows didn't sometimes refuse to open. The OS didn't sometimes open the wrong program. The system didn't sometimes hallucinate a 2nd cursor. The system worked and then it was shipped.

The "early stages" argument means "not fit for production purposes" in any other case. It should also mean the same here. It's early stages because the product isn't finished (and can't be, at least with current knowledge)

You misunderstand what I mean by early stages. Yes it has shortcomings but it is useful.

It works, we are waiting for the infrastructure to support it to be put in place.

These are secondary concerns. We're past if it's useful or not.
