OpenAI has understandably pitched its new ChatGPT Study mode as a tool for students. The Socratic questioning, quizzes, memory checks, and feedback are designed to help students learn topics in ways that best suit their individual learning needs.

ChatGPT now boasts a Study Mode designed to teach rather than tell. And while I’m too old to be a student, I tried ChatGPT’s Study Mode to see what it’s capable of.

OpenAI’s new study mode for ChatGPT throws questions back at students, but the learning feature doesn’t address generative AI’s underlying disruption of education.
