ChatGPT creator OpenAI has reportedly started testing a new feature called ‘study together’. The yet-to-launch feature aims to transform the way students learn and prepare for exams. As reported by TechCrunch, the unannounced feature was first spotted for Reddit users and it will appear as a new option in the popular AI chatbot ’s left-hand sidebar.
As per the report, on clicking the ‘study together’ option users will be directed to a new chat interface which will prominently feature a ‘study together’ prompt. However, the exact functionality and purpose of this new feature remain largely unclear, as OpenAI has yet to officially comment on its development or rollout.
Speculation within the tech community suggests several possibilities for "study together." It could be designed as a collaborative tool, allowing multiple users to engage with ChatGPT simultaneously on a shared learning objective. Alternatively, it might function as a focus mode, providing a distraction-free environment for individual study sessions, perhaps with AI-generated prompts or summaries. Another theory posits that it could simulate a study partner, offering interactive Q&A, explanations, or even mock quizzes to aid in learning.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asks users not to trust ChatGPT
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently warned against the trust users place in the company’s AI chatbot, ChatGPT. Speaking at the inaugural episode of OpenAI’s official podcast, Altman said that he finds it “interesting” when people put “high degree of trust” in ChatGPT. Noting that AI is infallible and can produce misleading or false content, he said that it should not be trusted much. “People have a very high degree of trust in ChatGPT, which is interesting, because AI hallucinates. It should be the tech that you don't trust that much,” Altman said about OpenAI’s own ChatGPT.
During the podcast, Altman also acknowledged that while ChatGPT continues to evolve with new features, the technology still has notable limitations that need to be addressed with honesty and transparency. Speaking about recent updates—including persistent memory and a potential ad-supported model—Altman noted that such advancements have raised fresh privacy concerns.
