Headlines keep saying ChatGPT is making people dumber, pointing to an MIT study that tracked brain activity in AI users. But the researchers who ran that study specifically pushed back on the word "dumber." Here's the honest, balanced answer: what the evidence actually shows, where it's overstated, and how to use ChatGPT so it sharpens your thinking instead of replacing it.
