Note: this lemmy post was originally titled MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline and linked to this article, which I cross-posted from this post in !fuck_ai@lemmy.world.

Someone pointed out that the "Science, Public Health Policy and the Law" website which published this click-bait summary of the MIT study is not a reputable publication deserving of traffic, so, 16 hours after posting it I am editing this post (as well as the two other cross-posts I made of it) to link to MIT's page about the study instead.

The actual paper is here and was previously posted on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world and other lemmy communities here.

Note that the study with its original title got far less upvotes than the click-bait summary did ๐Ÿคก

I want a free cookie emoji!

I didn't ask an LLM, no, I asked Wikipedia:

The mean month-length in the Gregorian calendar is 30.436875 days.

Edit: but since I already knew a year is 365.2425 I could, of course, have divided that by the 12 months of a year to get that number.

So,

1041 รท 30.436875 โ‰ˆ 34 months and...

0.2019343313 ร— 30.436875 โ‰ˆ 6 days and...

0.146249999987 ร— 24 โ‰ˆ 3 hours and...

0.509999999688 ร— 60 โ‰ˆ 30 minutes and...

0.59999998128 ร— 60 โ‰ˆ 35 seconds and...

0.9999988768 ร— 1000 โ‰ˆ 999 milliseconds and

0.9999988768 ร— 1000000 โ‰ˆ 999999 nanoseconds

34 months + 6d 3h 30m 35s 999ms 999999 ns (or we could call it 36s...)

Edit: 34 months is better known as 2 years and 10 months.

    Thank you, you really didn't have to. That cupcake is truly the icing and it's almost too much! I'll give you this giant egg of unknown origin: ๐Ÿฅš in return, as long as you promise to use it for baking and making some more of those cupcakes for whoever else needs or deserves one within the next few days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and 999999 bananoseconds ๐ŸŒ
