OpenAI is trying to shed its reputation as a student cheating tool by launching a new study mode in ChatGPT that won't spit out answers.

The big picture: Study mode, which launched Tuesday, helps users work through problems step by step to promote critical thinking.

Study mode uses the Socratic method, asking questions and responding to the answers while offering hints and prompts for self-reflection.
  • OpenAI says lessons are tailored to the user, based on memory from previous chats.
  • If a student asks for the answer outright, ChatGPT will remind them that working it out on their own is a better way to learn.
 
I once emailed a professor out of pure intellectual curiousity. Son of a bitch wrote me back something along these lines:

"I will not answer your question because I feel like this is for a work assignment".

His first name was Stacy so that might explain it.
 
Does this fancy pants new study mode kick in automatically or does the student have to enable it first, something I'm sure each and every young person in America will hop to do with no hesitation or delay

Reminds me of when porn websites added the disclaimer asking, "Are you 18 years old?"

And the porn companies cared equally as much about their new tool's effectiveness.

Nooooo fuck!!!!

Lol but I ask for answers to random questions just to know how to solver certain problems and to learn from the explanations, not to cheat, as my college is 100% scored upon tests, that is, work and presenting work/researches aren't score, they are only mandatory as in, if you don't do them, then you can't do the tests that are scored. They're a way so you are allowed to be scored by tests that ofc, you can't even have your smartphone turned on. It's one of the most strict and demanding colleges here. It's maddening many times, to the point I need to go nights awaken studying, but I like to have a goal. My goal is to do well, I've never had a passion, I'm just attracted by the challenge. I learn and can do well most times ofc but it's just that, because I enjoy the challenge, I don't enjoy learning as its own thing.
 
Tho that's kinda irrelevant to me anyways since I don't pay for gpt and don't use it or any AI for over a month.
 
Even the professors will be using that shit hardcore no more student aids

MIT uses a similar style AI. Sounds like a really good approach.

I had a professor move up a deadline for a paper because “nobody turned it in early for extra credit.”

I was like, “WTF is this? Do you realize how unfair this is to those of us who work and go to school? We don’t turn things in early because we don’t have time.”
 
Thread is wrong / title is wrong.

They just have a study mode to help with studying now.

The standard co pilot and chat gpt are still capable of cheating or at least partially cheating on assignments.

this guy wasnt my professor..
 
We've reached peak laziness if people can't even search the traditional way to cheat when they have the entire internet at their disposal.
 
This type of software has been in development for a few years now. Before, professors and teachers had to deal with lazy students copying entire wiki articles without even bothering to change anything,and and now they have this. Better than nothing, I guess.
Also, lol at neither teachers nor students doing any actual paperwork anymore, it’s all AI.

When I was finishing up my B.A. at night at this sketchy community college, there was this one lady I’d only seen maybe twice. On the last day of our statistics courses final exam she showed up and demanded that the professor teach her the entire course so she could pass. I felt bad for him; he was Nigerian and a really nice guy, so he tried to reason with her, saying, “Ma’am, these students have been here for months learning this — it would be impossible.” Eventually, they had to call security after she refused to leave and started cussing him out.
I had just gotten out of the military at the time, so I was a stickler for being on time and having my stuff together. They were having to pay for it to. Paying to fail is wild to me. School has changed for me since 2006 that’s for sure.

Who is going to actually use this though? Won't everyone just keep it turned off to get the answers straight away and then spend the rest of the day not worrying about homework?

Also, if you want to learn the problems just ask regular GPT to explain it to you.
