Then we take search engine group, Google.

And actually, just as a prior research, there's a ton of people about Google already.

We actually, as a humanity, right, we are excellent in creating different tools and then measuring the impact of those tools on our brain.

So there's quite a few papers we are citing in our paper.

For example, there is a paper, spoiler alert, called Your Brain on Google from 2008.

Literally, that's the name of the paper.

So we've actually found something very similar to what they found.

There would be a lot of activations in the back of your head.

This is called visual cortex or occipital cortex.

It's basically a lot of visual information processing.

So right now, for example, someone who's listening to us and maybe they are doing some work in parallel, they would maybe have some different tabs open, right?

They would have like one is like YouTube tab.

And others, I would have like some other things that they're doing.

So, you know, you're basically jumping between the tabs, looking at some information, maybe looking at the paper while listening to us.

So this is what we're actually seeing.

And there's plenty of papers already showing the same effect.

But then for the LLM group, for ChartGPT group, we saw the least of these functional connectivity activations.

And that doesn't, again, mean that you became dumb.

Yes, it does.

There's actually quite a few papers specifically having the title laziness, and we can talk about this with other results.
