A Harvard study shows AI tutoring doubled learning gains compared to expert-led active learning in physics, with median improvements of 0.73–1.3 standard deviations. Yet uncontrolled AI use risks eroding critical thinking through cognitive offloading, forcing a reckoning with whether teaching is fundamentally algorithmic. As models advance exponentially, educators must decide if efficiency will redefine or diminish learning.

OpenAI has launched Study Mode for ChatGPT, transforming the chatbot from an answer engine into an interactive tutor. This feature guides users through Socratic questioning and personalized quizzes to deepen understanding. Our hands-on tests reveal how it fundamentally changes the learning experience compared to standard ChatGPT.

OpenAI has officially confirmed the rollout of its 'Study Together' feature in ChatGPT, designed to transform how users tackle exams and complex subjects through guided, step-by-step explanations and quizzes. This isn't a new AI model but a sophisticated application of prompt engineering, positioning ChatGPT as a personalized learning assistant amid growing competition from Claude and Gemini in the education tech space.
