ChatGPT gets ‘study mode’ to guide students without spoon-feeding answers

OpenAI has introduced a new "study mode" for ChatGPT, designed to assist students in understanding complex topics without providing direct answers. This mode employs the Socratic method, asking questions and guiding users to find the answers themselves. The goal is to avoid spoon-feeding information and overwhelming users, instead gradually revealing information in stages. Study mode was developed in collaboration with teachers, researchers, and education experts, and is based on customized system instructions rather than a new AI model. It will initially be available to users on ChatGPT Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans, with ChatGPT Edu users gaining access within a few weeks. OpenAI emphasizes that study mode is still in its early stages, and user feedback will be continuously evaluated to improve the experience. Future plans include implementing features like goal setting, progress tracking, and increased personalization.
