The post Truth Versus Fiction That Generative AI Boosts Your Left-Brain While Undermining Your Right-Brain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Will AI impact our left-brain logical capability more so than our right-brain creativity, or is that a myth? getty In today’s column, I examine an emerging speculation about AI and humanity that seems to be gaining traction. The conjectured belief involves your left-brain and your right-brain. You probably are familiar with the trope that your noggin consists of the left side of your brain and the right side of your brain. The right-brain supposedly does your creative activities while the left-brain does all the logical, analytical work. The latest twist is that the widespread use of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) is supposedly boosting the left-brain in your head and tends to undercut or mentally starve the right-brain, such that we are all gradually becoming left-brain dominant and right-brain decayed. Soon, humankind is going to be a society of left-brain superiority, which might seem handy as we all will be highly analytical, but the downside is that we won’t be able to creatively get ourselves out of a paper bag. Let’s talk about it. This analysis of AI breakthroughs is part of my ongoing Forbes column coverage on the latest in AI, including identifying and explaining various impactful AI complexities (see the link here). The Grand Conjecture Does the advent of generative AI and LLMs have anything to do with how we think? Some argue that modern-era AI does indeed have an impact on our thinking processes (see my coverage at the link here). One of those arguments involves the classic left-brain versus right-brain theory. This is the prevalent theory regarding the two halves of the brain, such that each half has a presumed dedicated purpose when it comes to your thinking processes. Our left-brain is alleged to do our logical thinking. Whenever you are asked to think…
