ChatGPTs Study Mode Empowers Student Learning - OpenAI launches Study Mode in ChatGPT to enhance students' critical thinking by promoting active engagement with material. ChatGPT will ask questions to test users' understanding instead of just providing answers. This mode is available to logged-in users across different plans and will soon expand to Edu subscribers.
Students can switch back to regular mode for direct answers. OpenAI's VP of Education notes potential future parental controls. The feature repositions ChatGPT as a valuable educational resource rather than a simple answer tool, amidst ongoing discussions about AI's role in learning.
