Huang\u2019s remarks came in response to an MIT study last month, which shared that users who relied on AI for writing essays demonstrated less brain activity across regions of the brain and were unable to use unique thinking at the end. However, Huang, who shared that he had not come across this study, commented that using AI actually improved his cognitive skills.<\/p>\n<p>The gist of MIT\u2019s study indicated that users who relied on ChatGPT to write their essays ended up with lower brain activity after their third attempt. The researchers outlined that while ChatGPT essay writers did initially structure their essays and based their questions to the model on the structure, at their final attempt, they ended up simply copying and pasting the model\u2019s responses. Additionally, the ChatGPT users were also unable to recall their work and \u201cconsistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After CNN\u2019s Fareed Zakaria questioned Huang about the study and asked him what he thought of it, the executive replied by sharing that he hadn\u2019t \u201clooked at that research yet.\u201d However, Huang still disagreed with the research\u2019s conclusions. \u201cI have to admit, I\u2019m using AI literally every single day. And, and, um, I think my cognitive skills are actually advancing,\u201d he said. Commenting further, the NVIDIA added that the reason behind his skills improving was because he wasn\u2019t asking the model to think for him. Instead, \u201cI\u2019m asking it to teach me things that I don\u2019t know. Or help me solve problems that otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to solve reasonably,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with CNN\u2019s Fareed Zakaria, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has denied using AI makes him less smart.
