AI BREAKTHROUGH

ChatGPT experiments with Study Together to reshape how students engage with learning

A limited number of ChatGPT users have noticed a new tool called Study Together, where instead of giving answers, the AI prompts users with follow-up questions. The feature is being tested quietly and might expand to include group study rooms where multiple students can join the same session. OpenAI has not yet confirmed whether this will become a permanent feature or remain limited to paid users.
Snapshot:

• Some users now see a sidebar labeled Study Together, aimed at encouraging active thinking.

• ChatGPT in this mode asks questions instead of answering, to test your understanding.

• There is talk about adding multi user support, allowing friends to study together with AI keeping the session focused.

What is the underlying point:
In the future, two friends in different cities could log in at the same time, join the same Study Together session, and let ChatGPT quiz them back and forth on a topic like history or math. One might get a multiple choice question while the other has to explain a diagram. It would feel like a virtual study table, but with an AI that never gets tired and never lets anyone copy answers. That is a different kind of learning experience, not quieter, just smarter.

Many US managers now let AI decide promotions and exits

A Resume Builder survey of 1 342 managers finds sixty five percent rely on AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini to guide people decisions, and one in five even allow the software to make the final call without human review. Two thirds of these managers have had no formal training on ethical AI use. 

Snapshot:

• Six in ten managers lean on AI for raises, promotions, layoffs, and firings.

• Seventy eight percent use AI to set pay rises, while sixty four percent trust it to approve terminations.

• Forty six percent were asked if AI could replace a role, and more than half said yes, replace the person.

What is the underlying point:
Imagine a future where a worker opens Monday email and sees a note that an algorithm has scored their quarterly performance below a threshold, so the promotion request is paused. The manager may nod because the same system has already drafted a development plan. When decisions flow through software with little human check, employees may start shaping every message to please code rather than people, shifting trust at work.
