do you have a source I could read about that?
I have three here:
Kühn, S., & Gallinat, J. (2014). Brain Structure and Functional Connectivity Associated With Pornography Consumption: The Brain on Porn (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1874574)
Love, T., Laier, C., Brand, M., Hatch, L., & Hajela, R. (2015). Neuroscience of Internet Pornography Addiction: A Review and Update (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4600144/)
Hilton, D. L., & Watts, C. (2011). Pornography Addiction: A Neuroscience Perspective (https://surgicalneurologyint.com/surgicalint-articles/pornography-addiction-a-neuroscience-perspective/)
This is the classic "correlation does not equal causation".
The study quite openly says that they can't tell from their study whether the differences they found were caused by pornography viewing, or whether they have discovered a precondition that makes someone more likely to enjoy watching pornography.
In addition, it's unclear exactly what a reduction of grey matter in the right caudate means in real world terms. Body size correlates with grey matter volume, and no one would claim that a smaller person, with a lower volume of grey matter has a "destroyed brain".
Loss of existing gray matter in that area may not be benign, but we don't know, because the study doesn't explore that topic.
These two articles talk about pornography addiction, which is distinct from pornography consumption. In addition, both of them talk about the harm caused by pornography addiction as being a result of addiction, rather than an inherent aspect of viewing pornography.
Pretty sure this guy has "done his own research" by looking for titles that sound like they support his views and hoped no one would actually bother to actually read them 🤭
I took a look at them, after some recommendations from Grok.
Perhaps don't take your advice from an LLM that has been deliberately poisoned with transphobia, racism, nazi apologia and pro billionaire talking points.
LLMs are not truth generators to begin with, but that's extra so with Grok
To be fair on that, Grok is more ethical than how OpenAI trains their models.
Ethically sourced nazi apologism is still nazi apoligism
grok, or LLM is not a viable source, lol. just like wikipedia cant be used as a source if your trying to make an argument
