not to be rude, but: was any AI used in the development of this post?

I assumed the research scope and argument choice (how you discover and find counterclaims to existing claims) was AI driven, but if it was instead used for proofreading I was off the mark.

It's hard to get AI to be contrarian

well done piece. I'm still not quite convinced anti-cholinergics do NOT increase dementia risk, but it is not a dramatic effect even if there is one.

I believe that anti-cholinergics dull your thinking and that over time this has a cumulative effect that depresses cognition.

This can lead to dementia symptoms for senior adults whose cognitive load is light, and who are on 10 medications.

I'm not sure the tau tangles theory holds water.

Too many people are perfectly fine in life. When they die, autopsy reveals their brains are full of tau tangles .

I think there's other explanations such as mitochondrial dysfunction that are much better for explaining dementia.
