First, let me say what a good communicator you are mate.
I am a firm believer in "Truth comes from disagreement amongst friends", not that I am arrogant enough to think you my friend. I am a follower as I think (justifiably) you have interesting things to say.
Pissing into an echo chamber pot does nothing but raise the level of piss.
To that end, thank you for sharing that paper (https://www.media.mit.edu/articles/ai-s-impact-on-cognitive-ability-mit-study-reveals-more-troubling-data/) it took me a while to go through it.

TLDR; "AI chats degrade fake-news detection. 15.3% drop."
Measured minutes after a 40-minute session. The clean test, accuracy at the start of each week, before touching the AI, was p=.127. Not significant.
§6.4: "short-term dependency or cognitive fatigue effects". The abstract keeps half that sentence.
No control group.
