La IA puede perjudicar el cerebro de menores y adolescentes
De nuevo, como con la adicción a las pantallas, adivina quiénes son los principales afectados. Exacto. Menores y adolescentes.
En un nuevo estudio del MIT hicieron electroencefalogramas (EEG) a 54 universitarios (14 de posgrado) mientras redactaban trabajos académicos… y los resultados son, de nuevo, inquietantes.
(Nota: Si quieres saltarte todo el rollo e irte a las conclusiones, mira el segundo tuit.)
Aquí van unos cuantos datos contrastados:
El experimento duró cuatro meses. Los participantes se dividieron en tres grupos:
Grupo 1: solo podían usar ChatGPT.
Grupo 2: solo podían usar buscadores.
Grupo 3: sin ayuda, solo su cabeza.
El resultado fue claro: cuantos más recursos externos usaban, menos trabajaba su cerebro.
• El grupo sin ayudas activaba más regiones cerebrales.
• El de buscadores, algo menos.
• El de ChatGPT mostraba la menor conectividad neuronal.
¿Qué pasa cuando te acostumbras a usar IA y luego te la quitan?
Los que venían usando ChatGPT y tuvieron que escribir sin ayuda lo hicieron peor que quienes nunca usaron IA. Literalmente, pensaban menos. La dependencia no es solo comodidad: es atrofia cognitiva.
Uno de los datos más llamativos es que el 83 % de quienes usaron ChatGPT no pudieron citar ni una frase de su trabajo a los pocos minutos de escribirlo.
Su cerebro no registró el contenido; solo «copió y pegó». Los textos hechos con ChatGPT destacaban por su forma perfecta… pero hueca, que los profesores describían como «robóticos» y «sin alma».
No había ideas propias, ni matices personales, ni estilo. Mostraban un lenguaje impecable, pero no parecía haber una reflexión detrás.
¿Y qué hacía el cerebro mientras tanto?
En el Grupo 1, bajó la conexión en todas las bandas (alfa, beta, theta y delta): menos memoria, menos atención, menos planificación. Y también menor sensación de «autoría» sobre lo escrito: no lo sentían suyo.
El MIT llama a esto «deuda cognitiva»; es decir, como la deuda técnica en software… pero con tu mente.
Cada vez que dejas que una IA piense por ti, ahorras esfuerzo hoy, pero pagas mañana en forma de a) menor pensamiento crítico, b) reducción de la memoria y c) reducción de la creatividad.
Dato final
Quienes ya tenían buena base intelectual usaban ChatGPT de forma estratégica: como complemento, no como muleta. De ahí el peligro, como con las pantallas y las redes, de ponerlo en manos de menores o adolescentes que no tienen una personalidad y una base intelectual bien consolidada.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Hi all, hola! Bonjour, @jack 👋 Is there any easy way to ‘import’ contacts from twitter into @bluesky …? I am preparing my ‘diaspora’ in quest of more empathy-led and inspiring spaces. Merci!
Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Espero de tot cor que això es repeteixi cada any i acabi esdevenint una festa popular nostrada on cada poble disfressi a algú de puigdemont que puji a fer un discurs, després s’amagui i els nens l’hagin de trobar i al final sopar tots plegats a la plaça i fer una mica de ball
I made an AI clock for my bookshelves! It composes a new poem every minute using ChatGPT and mysteriously has this enthusiastic vibe which I am totally into https://t.co/HPFyCKoXAB

Guys @mediatemple, you might be enjoying the check from selling to @GoDaddy and not reading this, but what a disgusting bye bye gift you left us with :( @GoDaddyHelp is a disaster, I have been struggling for months to downgrade the plan, they doubled bills... Wow. Not good.
Why I am leaving Twitter.
I have made the decision to leave Twitter.
Twitter, far from being the groundbreaking medium that initially made information accessible to the greatest possible number of people, has in recent years become an impressive tool for destroying our democracies.
Whether it be manipulation, disinformation, the fostering of hatred, harassment, anti-Semitism and open racism, or vicious attacks on scientists, climatologists, women, environmentalists, liberals and all those of good will who wish to engage in peaceful political debate in an increasingly complex world, the range of abuses is endless. Not to mention the daily external meddling in electoral processes, aimed at destabilizing our democracies and undermining their image and sovereignty.
Today, controversy, rumor and crude manipulation rule public debate, fueled by Twitter's algorithm, where the only thing that counts is the number of "likes". Facts are irrelevant.
This platform and its owner intentionally exacerbates tensions and conflicts.
Furthermore, it intentionally hinders the information needed to bring about the ecological and energy transformation we much need, in favor of climate protectionist arguments driven by fossil fuel interests and boundless greed for the planet. We can keep denying, clarifying and explaining, but the noise produced by a piece of misinformation will still dwarf the echo of a proven truth.
We must not deceive ourselves. We are dealing here with an utterly clear political project to push aside democracy and its values in favor of powerful private interests.
The latest transparency report on content control, released by Twitter itself, ranks France first in Europe for violent and illegal content.
This medium has become a gigantic global sewer, and we should continue to wade into it?
We see it every day: Twitter hinders debate, the quest for truth, and the serene and constructive dialogue needed between human beings. With its thousands of anonymous accounts and its troll farms, life on Twitter is the exact opposite of democratic life.
I refuse to endorse this evil scheme.
I believe deeply in democracy, which remains in the making.
I believe in exchanges, in these difficult times.
We should never accept the bullying of vile attacks.
We should not allow the "engineers of chaos" to seize control of our destinies.
We should not accept the daily disintegration of our democracies on our screens.
In March 2009, I was one of the first French women in politics to join this network, which today counts a community of over 1,500,000 subscribers worldwide.
To remain true to my convictions and my commitment, I am leaving Twitter today.
I will remain on other social media networks in which respectful exchanges can still take place: https://t.co/52QpyGVbey
We need more than ever to keep real democracy alive, whether it be through town councils, town meetings, referendums, conferences or get-togethers. These are places where people see each other, argue, build together and simply live together.
When all is dark, we need to reach for the light and those great spirits who, at certain times in our history, have shown us the way. "We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will all die together as idiots", Martin Luther King told us in the early 1960s.
We can trust each other and find our way back to democracy, peace and fraternity. It is in our hands.

@DaniNovarama@alfredobarcena hombre, y la inversión que hicieron para entrar en openAI tirada al wc… También hay que decirlo. Vacían una empresa de la que son co-propietarios, no? Not so cool…
