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.

To find study mode in ChatGPT, simply log into ChatGPT as you normally would, click on the plus (+) icon and select the tab from the dropdown menu that says “study and learn,” and that’s it — it’s really that easy to access.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Study Mode, transforming AI from an answer engine into a Socratic tutor that guides students through problems step-by-step rather than providing direct solutions.
