This one today @ The Trading Post in Abergavenny! So cheeky after we'd finished our carrot cake, basically telling us to order more 😂 #MotherTeresa#LordMonty#13yearsOld
@OoshOne Aaah I think I remember you telling me this! Life’s too short aye!
I have a good balance but if I could drop one of my jobs, I would!
Haha Twig, I bet! Cutie xx
@OoshOne Pish! 😂 Love it! But yes it is!
Aww Daz does dog walks, that’s great! I’d love to work with dogs someday!
The teaching, I do a handful of dates for a company who get huge school groups! The hard part is getting them in their wetsuits when it’s raining 🙈 x
@OoshOne Not bad, just waiting for Summer to start 🙈 😂 Am teaching surfing tomorrow and Wednesday - only two days of the week it’s raining 🙄
How are you? How is everything? x
@OoshOne My other half is Scottish, we stayed up to watch it 🙈 I lasted until the second half haha I love them singing 😂
Missed my Aussie game though, but glad to see they won too 😊 🇦🇺
🧠 MIT recently completed the first brain-scan study on ChatGPT users—and the results are deeply revealing.
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged AI use may be dulling it.
Over four months of cognitive data suggest we might be measuring productivity all wrong ⤵️
In MIT’s study, participants had their brains scanned while using ChatGPT.
→ 83.3% of users couldn’t recall a single sentence they’d written just minutes earlier.
→ In contrast, those writing without AI had no trouble remembering.
Brain connectivity dropped sharply—from 79 to 42 points.
→ That’s a 47% drop in neural engagement.
→ The lowest cognitive performance among all user groups.
Even after stopping ChatGPT use in later sessions, these users showed continued under-engagement.
→ Their performance remained lower than those who never used AI.
→ This suggests more than dependency—it’s cognitive weakening.
Beyond the scans, educators flagged the writing itself.
→ Essays were technically solid, but often called “robotic,” “soulless,” and “lacking depth.”
Here’s the paradox:
→ ChatGPT makes you 60% faster at completing tasks…
→ But it reduces the mental effort required for learning by 32%.
The top-performing group?
→ Those who began without AI and added it later.
→ They retained the best memory, brain activity, and overall scores.
Using ChatGPT can feel empowering—but it may quietly offload your thinking.
→ You gain speed, but lose engagement.
→ You get answers, but stop learning how to think.
The takeaway isn’t to avoid AI—but to use it intentionally.
→ Use it to assist, not replace your mind.
→ Build cognitive strength—not dependency.
MIT’s early study on AI and the brain lays out the stakes. The way we use these tools matters more than ever.
@OoshOne Aaah wow! Stunning! Is that Twig doing downward dog yoga pose with a twig? 🤣
Yes, I lost interest in it now I remember, it’s just not “Claud” material haha
We have a sunshine day today, am in work for 10 though x
@OoshOne@OzDzynes Oh no! The lurgy! It’s been doing the rounds here too. Thankfully Iain and I have avoided it 🤞🏼 Hope he’s on the mend soon!
I haven’t finished it yet, kinda got side tracked with work and some other things
Waiting for spring to arrive! Clocks go forward end of the month! Woohoo
@OoshOne Aww lovely photo! And great to put face to a name 😊
My side job is a little brand called @OzDzynes and my main product is bobble hats (OzBobs) x
Hope you’re well ❤️
