OpenAI has introduced a new feature called Study Mode within ChatGPT, designed to enhance students’ critical thinking skills rather than just providing answers. With Study Mode activated, ChatGPT will prompt users with questions to test their comprehension and may withhold direct answers until students engage with the material.
The company has started rolling out Study Mode to users on various ChatGPT plans, with plans to extend it to Edu subscribers in the near future. This move by OpenAI aims to address concerns about the impact of using ChatGPT on students’ critical thinking abilities, especially in educational settings.
Despite the potential benefits of using ChatGPT as a learning tool, concerns were raised about its impact on students’ cognitive processes. However, with the introduction of Study Mode, OpenAI hopes to transform ChatGPT into a more effective educational tool, encouraging students to actively engage with the content rather than simply seeking quick answers.
While Study Mode offers a promising approach to learning with ChatGPT, it also comes with limitations. Students can easily switch back to the regular mode if they prefer to get immediate answers without engaging in critical thinking. OpenAI acknowledges this challenge and is considering potential solutions, such as parental or administrative controls, in the future.
Ultimately, the success of Study Mode depends on students’ willingness to embrace a more interactive learning experience with ChatGPT. OpenAI envisions Study Mode as just the first step in improving educational outcomes with generative AI, with plans to share more insights on students’ usage of such tools in the future.
