@jabberwock951 is saying "ok, we can find out! can you tell me if ypuve experienced XYZ symptoms?" that fucking hard. people are trying to communicate with terminology they dont fully comprehend, help them out!!!

I'm not gonna lie, it is frustrating when you ask a patient what's wrong and they just give you a diagnosis. Like "I have a chest infection". OK, you're probably right but I need to know your symptoms to see if I agree with that diagnosis. I can't just take your word for it.

You can’t go in being like “I’m having migraines and I’ve seen that the first line medication intervention for migraines is triptans so I’d like to try that”, many drs won’t LIKE THAT. You have to go “oh nooo my heeeaddd hurtttsss what do i dooo”

@BOENSAW wisdom of crowds. humans can also do this (without talking) but it takes longer for us to solve the problem.

I am quite skeptical of the utility of LLMs I am even more skeptical of fMRI studies that purport to show anything about human experience via brain scan.

🚨BREAKING: MIT hooked people up to brain scanners while they used ChatGPT. What they found should concern every single person reading this. ChatGPT users showed 55% weaker brain connectivity than people who didn't use it. Not after years. After just four months. Here's how they tested it. 54 people were split into three groups: one used ChatGPT to write essays, one used Google, and one used nothing but their own brain. They wore EEG monitors that tracked their brain activity in real time across four sessions over four months. The brain-only group built the strongest, most widespread neural networks. Google users were in the middle. ChatGPT users had the weakest brains in the room. Every time. Then the memory test hit. Participants were asked to recall what they'd just written minutes earlier. 83% of ChatGPT users couldn't quote a single line from their own essay. They wrote it. They couldn't remember it. The words passed through them like they were never there. It gets worse. In the final session, ChatGPT users were told to write without AI. Their brains were measurably weaker than people who never used AI at all. 78% still couldn't recall their own writing. The damage didn't go away when the tool was removed. Meanwhile, brain-only users who tried ChatGPT for the first time? Their brains lit up. They wrote better prompts. They retained more. Their brains were already strong enough to use AI as a tool instead of a crutch. The researchers also found that every ChatGPT essay on the same topic looked almost identical. More facts, more dates, more names. But less original thinking. Everyone using ChatGPT produced the same generic output while believing it was their own. MIT gave this a name: cognitive debt. Like financial debt, you borrow convenience now and pay with your thinking ability later. Except there's no way to pay it back. The question isn't whether ChatGPT is useful. It's whether the price is your ability to think without it.

🚨BREAKING: Google just dropped another hit! It's called PaperBanana and it generates publication-ready academic illustrations from just your methodology text. No Figma. No manual design. No illustration skills needed. Here's how it works: A team of AI agents runs behind the scenes → One finds good diagram examples → One plans the structure → One styles the layout → One generates the image → One critiques and improves it Here's the wildest part: Random reference examples work nearly as well as perfectly matched ones. What matters is showing the model what good diagrams look like, not finding the topically perfect reference. In blind evaluations, humans preferred PaperBanana outputs 75% of the time. This is the recursion we've been waiting for AI systems that can fully document themselves visually. Waitlist’s open, Link in the first comment.

Flying Crouton@FlyingCrouton·
The biggest problem I have seen in this whole math debate is people make switch it up like a short change artist. The premise is what is 1/3. It comes down to a language. Some people see this as one third. Some people see it as one divided by three. These are 2 completely different statements. What is one divided by three. We all know this is impossible. We can change the topic, talk about shapes, hours, other random things and point out how we can cut those into 3. But right there, none of them realize the reality they just created. In that 3/3=1 and cool that’s it. But that’s one third. Not one, divided by three. When we try to divide one, by three, by the logic we all agreed to in math, it becomes 3 with a remainder of 1. Three with a remainder of 1 is represented as .333…This is where everyone tries to trick you. They try to insinuate this .333 as its own number equal to that 3/3, but they are not the same. One is broken down in a base 3 system, a whole, complete number system. The other is broken down in a whole, 10 number system. You don’t get to merge these 2 systems. I tried to show this by showing how the Bible is translated in English as “In The beginning” and in Hebrew there is no such representation for “in” or “the” and we just infer that. All of this falls on deaf ears because On top of all that, then you will get the claim, what number is between .999…and 1, and the answer is simple, C or .0001. A+b=c. *IF* there is a number, between numbers it’s another number. And, when I put your claim to the test, we fall short of that number. Just as my original argument states you will. And then, someone will finally yell “Limit” Limit, on infinite? That defeats the number and is no longer that number but a different number completely. When you do shit like this, the result is people doing what ever they want. 1st what we have learned from the COVID scandals, now this. Research papers are mostly fake. I can perfectly understand how ancient people invented gods everywhere.
Flying Crouton@FlyingCrouton

No, I have no problem when people substitute langue when it actually fits. But if you try to tell me words exits in a language they do not, I’m going to correct you and I’m going to make you prove what you claim. I have proven every claim I have made about it, over and over, yet still all these people come here and try to act like I’m the stupid one who needs school. Their ignorance shows and it’s no wonder what we are finding.

@itsalexvacca that is NOT a 47% reduction in connectivity or "brain power", that is just "brains do different things when they are doing different tasks". sure, chatgpt is not useful for writing tasks if you need to remember what you wrote, but LLMs do not cause BRAIN ATROPHY jfc

Brain scans revealed the damage: neural connections collapsed from 79 to just 42. That's a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. If your computer lost half its processing power, you'd call it broken. That's what's happening to ChatGPT users' brains.
