To answer the second part of your question, yes. Improv is good because it forces you, not an external source, to process a set of information quickly to fulfill a stated goal. It is also good for working on public speaking and interpersonal skills.
I knew one engineer who took improv as a way to improve interpersonal skills and to be able to respond faster in client meetings. When talking to them and they brought it up, I responded "Yes, and?"
Admit to yourself that there is no rot and move forward.
Who knows, but honestly you're probably worrying too much. The human brain is extremely elastic. So read a book, keep a journal, draw a little picture of a house. You'll be okay :)

I was, unfortunately, someone who used to use LLMs quite extensively. I kinda just liked using it for fun and thought it was kinda convenient.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to stop using it. I knew why it was bad but it just felt like I couldn't stop. It really becomes an addiction, it's terrible.
When I first stopped using them, I did feel that brainrot. I was unable to really do anything creative for a little bit, but it eventually wore off after a few weeks and I was able to start drawing, writing, whatever creative things I wanted to do.
It just takes a little time, try not to slip back into using AI, you got this :)
Read at least 100 real book words for every 1 lemmy or social media, or mass media words you read.
Even if you accidentally see them, you just have to stop and read a real book after you hit the limit.
Dilute the drivel to a low concentration and your kidneys and liver should be able to flush out the toxins. If you read this message you should go read about 8000 words of a real book, with food.
Go outside into nature for extended walks / runs, at least 2 hours each time.
Just with your clothing and good shoes, but not a single piece of electronics on you. No phone, no watch etc.
And then look, and listen, and smell, and think about all that comes your way.
Wanna add on: 2 hours might seem like a lot at first. Even if it’s 5 minutes, go anyway! Once you’re in the habit of stepping out the longer durations become easier.
Some suggestions:
Also:
Replace it when you can. Notepad. Wristwatch. Books. Go analog when you can and try to make due without it when you can't. Weird how difficult it is to go (even an hour) without access to your phone.
Reading and listening to a book at the same time can help focus on said book immensely
I think it is!
Reading is another thing that can help a lot (comics included), and basically any handcraft. Anything that makes you struggle a little bit
Assuming you mean the intellectual laziness that can come with llm use. The thing to do is to not use llms for those things anymore.
