TITLE :FROM THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS TO DIGITAL DEPENDENCE: IMPACT OF AI CONTENT CREATION ON STUDENT COGNITIVE ABILITIES AND MENTAL HEALTH

ABSTRACT: The urge towards AI tools like ChatGPT has reinstalled educational practices; however, there are sobering concerns about how they affect student’s cognitive abilities and mental health. Article Overview: This study investigates the impact of this growing dependency on content produced by AI tools, such as Chat GPT, on learning and problem-solving abilities, as well as emotional health. Two consequences of heavy internet and overuse of AI systems is what some are calling “brain rot”- a declining ability to think rigidly and critically, intellectual fog, and neural exhaustion. Along with “doomscrolling” and increased screen time, such effects highlight the dangers of shorter attention spans, impaired critical thinking skills and academic cheating. Based on a survey of students from multiple disciplines, the study explores how AI can both help make students more productive but also undermine their creativity and intrinsic motivation to learn as well as their ability to think independently. Incorporating AI technologies into the classroom can be useful, but it also carries very serious challenges and potential risks, which these findings highlight. Advocates must consider this when promoting reform through this technology in educational systems. That should work towards both cognitive development and mental health.
