Abstract

In 2024 “brain rot” was named the “word of the year” by the Oxford English dictionary and it refers to an uncritical overconsumption of low-quality online content. In this context generative AI could become an educational tool to counteract the brain rot enhancing the critical thinking about texts and images. The AI, used in a methodologically correct way, could become a key inclusive technology to go beyond the rivalry between image and text.
