MIT has a warning: ChatGPT might be turning your brain to mush. In a recent study, researchers measured brain activity during writing tasks using ChatGPT, Google, or nothing—and ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain engagement. Is AI making us forget how to think for ourselves?
Plus, a record-breaking moment in sports history: the Buss family has reportedly sold their majority stake in the Los Angeles Lakers for $10 billion, making it the most expensive sports team sale ever. How does that compare to other big-name franchises?
And in case you missed it:
-
The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders just scored a 400% pay raise
-
The debate continues—do AI tools hurt or help creativity?

Episode Transcript
It's time for NINAS.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
What's training Breaking news MIT concludes that chat GPT is
turning brains into mush. Well, yeah, they recently did a
study that divided fifty four participants with ages ranging from
eighteen to thirty nine into three groups. They were required
to write several SAT essays using chat GPT, Google Search Engine,
and then nothing at all. So they went through and
(00:21):
broke it all down, and the chat GPT users had
the lowest brain engagement. Oh wow, because they had they
put them on the EEG things. Yeah, yeah, the lowest
brain engagement. And then over the month is chat GPT
users got lazier with each essay, resorting to cut and
paste by the end of the study. I mean that's
all surprising.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Oh, that's surprising.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, they need to do this study further, but their
first I.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Mean writing about it, writing and stuff like that. It's
a muscle that you have to exercise in order to
do it. So if you know how to write very
well and that's your thing, but you're using chat GPT
all the time, then you're going to also suddenly start
kind of forgetting how to write if you're using everything
the chat GPT saying or like thinking about the words
that you use. You know, well, if it though, but.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You're just copy and pasting, then you're not even really
paying attention to the words. You're just kind of trusting
and putting it there. But do you think it's still
as bad if you write it yourself and then you
put it into Chat and you're like, hey, can you
just clean this up?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It depends what it changes. But also I feel like
you'll start to forget the words.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Also, like I don't like my vocabulary. I feel like
with Chat, jimmy t has gone like I'm now looking
up like what word am I thinking of? And I'll
like explain it, and I like, like the full word is.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Like wow, my head.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
No, guys, I think they're like I have actual like
mind problem. So it teaches you English?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh jesus, I don't say that. Is that new for you,
Victoria or is that just something that you're now blaming
on chat GPT?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It is something I'm now blaming on Chata.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I can't blame on myself because I can imagine
you in college googling quite a few Yeah, what that
didn't happen all the time in college?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I still google learns now Vic it's all good.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I just might need a brain.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I need chat GBT to give me a studdy guy, Victoria,
I'm concerned about you forgetting words. So here's a few
supportive and curious responses. Yeah, it's wild how much we're
to rely on it now. Do you feel like it's
changing how you think or just making things easier to forget? Also,
I felt that too. It's like I reach for AI
before I even try to recall things. Kind of makes
(02:25):
you wonder. Here's also a professional balanced option.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I think AI makes things faster, but yeah, it can
make us lazy with recall. Might be a good reminder
to stay sharp with the basics. Response very just in
the moment thought of it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, thank you toys. Will you are using your jack
your chat friend? In other news, sports is stay sports
thing the most expensive sport team sales in history? If
you haven't heard, the Bus family that was owning majority
steak of Valet Lakers has just sold their Steak for
ten billion dollars crazy, making it the most expensive sports
(03:10):
team sale in history.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
When was the last time they won a championship?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Does anyone that long ago?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Not that long ago?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I want to say within six years, but I mean
it's GPT.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I'm just like, if you're going to sell it for
that much, like I really hope it's a great team.
I mean it's a lot Boston. Boston Celtics sold in
twenty twenty five for six point one billion dollars, and
then in twenty twenty three Washington Commanders sold for six
point oh five billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So twenty twenty oh.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So five years ago. I mean, if you're talking about basketball,
Lakers are a dynasty.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's true. Well, the legendary team. Yeah, they had a dynasty. Yeah, yeah,
that it doesn't mean they still are.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, I just don't feel like as far as like
royal families are concerned, and like I feel like the
Lakers are one of them.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, if you're buying a brand, which is essentially what
they add is what it is. One of the biggest
brands out there as far as sports goes.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
People get really caught up with It's just a game.
How gonna be ten billion dollars. That's not what you're buying.
You're not buying it. That has nothing to do with basketball.
The people that buy I probably don't even care about
basket You're buying Lakers. You're buying the brand, you're buying
the colors, you're buying the buying the merch you're buying
the stadium rights, you're buying the TV rights. That's why
it's worth so much. Kobe's memory, I don't think you
can buy Kobe's memories.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, Kobe's jerseys and stuff. They're the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, I just his memories are no longer available.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He's pending that ten billion because you have it, and
then you make fifty sixty one hundred billion over.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, that's n It is crazy. So that happened, and
that's what's trending.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Dang, and you pay the cheerleaders ten cents.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Update on that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Update on that they got a four hundred percent increase
of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They're now making like seventy five dollars an hour from all.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The media like circulation.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Everybody's not everybody was mad and you got him on
a TV show and you're still not paying.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
