I've been using AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Vibe and Grok and such) for a while now, and I've decided that I'm gonna stop using AI for a little bit just to see what happens.

I realized that I didn't elaborate on this question, and I apologize for that.

You will start recovering from slopheadedness. Your brain begins going back to normal functioning.

    This is the same as asking "What happens if I stop commuting to work in my car and running to work instead?".

    You will be using your body—legs, heart, and lungs etc everyday. You will get fitter over time.

    Similarly, if you stop outsourcing cognitive effort to LLMs your brain will get stronger.

    There are also other harms LLMs cause with sycophancy. It kills your social skills and cause psychosis. So your brain can recover from all that if you avoid generative AI.
