OpenAI’s new study mode for ChatGPT throws questions back at students, but the learning feature doesn’t address generative AI’s underlying disruption of education.

When students prompt the ChatGPT with a question, OpenAI’s chatbot will respond with guiding questions and hints intended to lead them toward a solution.

Next, click Tools and select the "Study and learn" option in the tools section. You can select this before or after entering your question. This activates Study Mode and tells ChatGPT to switch from simply providing answers to guiding you through the learning process.
