[Musik] Terakhir kali saya berdiri di panggung ini adalah untuk menarik, untuk pentas. Tetapi pada siang hari ini saya ingin mengajak teman-teman semua untuk refleksi. Saya akan mulai dengan tiga pertanyaan sederhana.Yang pertama, pernah enggak teman-teman tuh membaca sesuatu bukan dalam bahasa yang tidak teman-teman ketahui, tetapi enggak sanggup untuk menangkap maknanya. Baca sesuatu enggak nangkap, udah terus tinggalin. Kita enggak berusaha membaca lagi atau mencari tahu.Atau berapa banyak sih informasi ...
ChatGPT Is MELTING Your Brain – The Scans Prove It!

Cognitive Impact of AI - MIT research indicates that using ChatGPT is associated with weaker neural connectivity across brain regions, reduced alpha, theta, and beta waves, and diminished attention spans [4] - Regular ChatGPT use is correlated with cognitive decline, with users exhibiting deficits even before testing began [10][11] - AI-assisted work can lead to memory failure, with users struggling to recall their own AI-generated content minutes after writing it [7] - Homogenization of output is observed, with AI-written essays exhibiting uniformity and lacking originality [12] - Users may experience a diminished sense of intellectual ownership over AI-generated content, potentially reducing critical scrutiny and ethical responsibility [14][15] Historical Context and Counterarguments - Historically, concerns about new technologies melting brains have been common, but humanity has adapted and evolved [17][18][19][20] - The Flynn effect, which documented rising IQ scores throughout the 20th century, has reversed in recent decades in some countries [23][26][27] - Some argue that reduced brain activity in AI users may indicate efficiency, not decline, and that AI can enhance intelligence when properly implemented [47][49] Global Responses and Strategies - China is making AI education mandatory while also emphasizing traditional cognitive training [31] - Singapore is providing credits to workers over 40 to teach them how to use AI without becoming dependent [32] - The EU is taking a cautious approach to AI in education, emphasizing transparency, human oversight, and data protection [34] AI's Impact on Skills and Industries - AI coding assistants may lead to "vibe coders" who can tweak existing code but struggle to build from scratch [43] - For complex work, AI use may actively slow down experienced developers [44] - The IMF estimates that 40% of all jobs globally face AI exposure, jumping to 60% in wealthy market economies [40] Types of AI and Their Effects - Large language models like ChatGPT are associated with neural decline, memory failure, and homogenization of output [41] - Image generators may lead to prompt dependency, where artists lose the ability to create without algorithmic assistance [42] - Educational AI that enhances rather than replaces learning shows more promise, with potential for 20-40% improvements in learning outcomes [45]
