Writing in the British Journal of General Practice, Armitage called the study the first neurophysiological evidence that LLM assistance alters how the brain processes and retains information, and suggested that cognitive debt may apply to medical education.
"While the results are not necessarily surprising, this article offers the first neurophysiological evidence that LLM assistance fundamentally alters how our brains process and retain information. [...] it is possible that the problem of cognitive debt is transferable to the over-reliance on LLMs in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical learning contexts."
