Study Finds ChatGPT May Help You Learn Faster, But There's a Catch

A study of 120 university students tested whether using ChatGPT to prepare an assignment affected long-term retention.

Students who used ChatGPT averaged 5.75/10 on a surprise test 45 days later, while non-AI learners scored 6.85/10.

ChatGPT users spent less time on the assignment (3.2 hours) than non-AI students (5.8 hours), suggesting faster learning but weaker retention.
