Help me out...I’m a dummy. I take GABA pills in the morning for, well, my brain. These guys are saying GABA is BAD?

The problem with GABA seems to be with a strange dysregulation that occurs with people who have Alzheimer's. It appears GABA is not going where it would normally be needed:

This study appears to have found that beneficial bacteria help regulate GABA and these can be enhanced through a low carb diet.

I don't think this specific concern impacts people who aren't presently on a path toward Alzheimer's, starting with Mild Cognitive Impairment, at least with how this article scopes the work.

Do note this study did deep review of fecal samples and not blood, from what I read.
