Me neither. Do you have the subscription? Maybe it's not on the free plan.

Re: Study mode
#12I'm not sure about the audience for this, if you're already willing to learn the material you probably already engage with AI in a way that isn't "please output the answers for me" because you're likely self-aware enough to know that "answering" isn't always "understanding." Maybe this mode makes that a little easier? but I doubt it's significant
If you're the other 90% of students that are only learning to check the boxes and get through the courses to get the qualification at the end... are you going to bother using this?
Of course, maybe this is "see, we're not trying to kill education... promise!"

There is no way to learn without effort. I understand they are not claiming this, but many students want a silver bullet. There isn't one.

Re: Study mode
#16I would like to see randomized control group studies using study mode. Does it offer meaningful benefits to students over self directed study? Does it out perform students who are "learning how to learn"? What affect does allowing students to make mistakes have compared to being guided through what to review? I would hope Study Mode would produce flash card prompts and quantize information for usage in spaced repetit…
I would also be interested to see whether it outperforms students doing literally nothing.

I have the $20 tier and I'm not seeing it, either.
EDIT: literally saw it just now after refreshing. I guess they didn't roll it out immediately to everyone.

#18If current AI is good enough to teach you something, spending time learning that thing seems to be a really bad investment...

#19Ah, the advancing of humanity. A bespoke professor-quality instructor in everyone’s pocket (or local library) available 24/7. Happy Tuesday!
Professor might be overselling it but lecturer for undergrad and intro graduate courses for sure.
It's better than a professor in some respects. A professor can teach me about parser combinators but they probably can't teach me about a specific parser combinator library.
There's a lot of specificity that AI can give over human instruction however it still suffers from lack of rigor and true understanding. If you follow well-trod paths its better but that negates the benefit.
The future is bright for education though.

Overselling is not the right word exactly. For some questions it will have professor-level understanding, and for other questions it will have worse-than-idiot-level understanding. Hopefully the students are able to identify which :-)
