The Washington Post published a column on November 10, 2026 with advice on how to keep your own thinking sharp while using AI chatbots. The piece is titled "How to protect your brain from AI chatbots." It speaks to a question many people now face: how to use these tools without letting them do all the thinking.
Chatbots are AI programs that answer questions and write text in plain conversation. You type a question or a request, and the program replies in everyday language. People use them for work tasks, homework help and quick daily questions.
Anyone who uses a chatbot, or lives with someone who does, could find the topic relevant. That includes workers who lean on one for drafts, students who ask one for help, and families who turn to one for everyday answers. The column's core message, as described, is that a few habits can keep you in charge of your own thinking.

The material also does not say which chatbots the column covers or whether it cites any research. Readers who want the exact advice should read the column on The Washington Post's site.
