Summary
ChatGPT creator OpenAI has launched a new educational tool for students, called Study Mode, which promises to act more like a tutor than a search engine.
It asks students what they hope to learn, and works with them to reach the answer.
Based on an adaptation of ancient Socratic teaching methods, it has been praised by students who tested it, but critics point out that it uses the same flawed architecture as ChatGPT.
This means that while it can give explanations, it can also supply wrong or misleading information, and the AI cannot distinguish between right and wrong answers.
OpenAI admitted that users who want swift answers can simply return to using traditional ChatGPT.
