This is just the usual clash between how scientists speak and how people who don't know how science works speak.

You can quite reasonable say something like "this indicates that in some domains the use of LLMs to perform work may removed future learning and possibly cause atrophy of existing skills at an accelerated rate" but when discussed this gets shorthanded to "chatgpt gives you bad brain".

Which is fine, evidence indicates they're not very useful, they're possibly harmful, and they are controlled by big tech necessarily and created in an act of mass cultural vandalism so it's not like "chatgpt gives you bad brain" is a dangerously misleading belief.
