TIME reporter Andrew Chow discussed the findings of a new study about how ChatGPT affects critical thinking with Nataliya Kosymyna. Kosymyna was part of a team of researchers at MIT’s Media Lab who set out to determine whether ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs) are eroding critical thinking, and the study returned some concerning results. The study divided 54 subjects into three groups, and asked them to write several essays using OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s search engine, and nothing at all, respectively. Researchers used an EEG to record the writers’ brain activity. What they found was that of the three groups, the ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic and behavioral levels. Over the course of several months, the ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy and paste.

On this season of And Just Like That…, Harry Goldenblatt couldn’t help but wonder if his health had taken a turn. On the June 26 episode of the show, Charlotte’s affable husband goes from wetting his pants in a nightclub to joining a club he’d rather not be part of—even though, as he points out, it also includes Robert De Niro, Warren Buffett, and Nelson Mandela.

During an evening walk past the Guggenheim Museum, Harry tells Charlotte there’s a reason he asked her to go for a stroll. “To get away from the kids? Me too,” she quips. Not exactly: Because of a couple strange symptoms he’d been experiencing, Harry decided to go to the doctor for a check-up. “What do you know? I got prostate cancer,” he tells his wife, who immediately dissolves into panicky fear. “Everything is going to be fine,” he reassures her. “We caught it early.”

Charlotte might not be happy about Harry’s news, but some experts are pleased with the development. “I’m ecstatic about th..

The fraction of people who got an abortion in their second trimester more than doubled in states that enforced near-total abortion bans after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, new research has found.

The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health on Thursday, found that the proportion of abortions that took place at or after 13 weeks of pregnancy jumped from 8% before a ban was enforced to 17% afterward. The average point in pregnancy when the people who participated in the study were able to obtain an abortion also rose, from 7.7 weeks gestation pre-ban to 8.8 weeks gestation post-ban.

The overwhelming majority of abortions take place during the first trimester: In 2022, nearly 93% of abortions occurred before or at 13 weeks of pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

You’re feeling on edge, your sleep is off, and your thoughts are racing. Is it just a stressful week, or something deeper?

Stress and anxiety share many symptoms, but they’re not the same thing—and coping with anxiety requires a slightly different approach than dealing with stress. Here’s what to know.

The differences

“Many people use the words ‘stress’ and ‘anxiety’ interchangeably,” says Judith S. Beck, president of Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. “While their symptoms overlap, there are some distinctions between them.”

Stress arises when a person faces demands greater than what they believe they can cope with. It often triggers negative emotions like irritation, anger, or sadness, along with physical symptoms like a fast heart rate, an upset stomach, and tense muscles.

Stress often has a clear external cause and is situation-dependent. Once the event passes, “the intensity of a stress response usually decreases,” Beck says.
