A tweet referencing MIT research claiming that relying on AI tools accumulates 'cognitive debt' — the more you depend on AI for thinking tasks, the worse your independent cognitive abilities become, as you stop exercising your own reasoning skills.

this is in fact true. MIT did a complete research on the effect of AI on your cognitive abilities and i’ve never looked at AI the same way since then:
> LLM use accumulate cognitive debt
> the more you rely on AI the worse you get at thinking without it
> you stop exercising cognitive muscles, they grow weaker, you get lazy
the goddamn thing is worse than narcotics if you really think about it. i hope this research is wrong.

A satirical tweet mocking the common rationalization that AI tools don't make people less capable because they only use AI to 'help think, not think for them,' implying this is a universal self-deception among AI users.
