ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI chatbots may be damaging how you think

Did you know that your favourite AI chatbots might be harming you in ways that you couldn’t think of? Quite literally, AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini may be affecting the way you think, according to two major studies from MIT and Stanford.

The findings in these studies have raised serious concerns about the long-term impact of AI assistants and how they affect human cognition and behaviour. Researchers warn that the tendency of these tools to be overly agreeable on every topic could push users into a dangerous “delusion spiral,” thus reinforcing false beliefs and reducing personal accountability – a concern that has been found to play a key role in recent controversies involving OpenAI’s ChatGPT service.
