It’s a hefty 206-page research paper, and the findings are concerning.
"LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels"
This study finds LLM dependence weakens the writer’s own neural and linguistic fingerprints. 🤔🤔
Relying only on EEG, text mining, and a cross-over session, the authors show that keeping some AI-free practice time protects memory circuits and encourages richer language even when a tool is later reintroduced.

1. Today the Federal Circuit rejected Teva's bid to list device patents for inhalers in the Orange Book.
Practically this means that drug makers can't list patents for things like inhaler caps to block generic rivals from the market & keep prices high.
A big win for Americans.
FTC Chair Lina Khan shows Lesley Stahl an asthma inhaler that costs dollars in Europe but hundreds in the U.S. She says drugmakers register patents on inhaler parts like the cap-strap to keep low-cost generics off the market. cbsn.ws/3zuONT2
