First of its kind study finds ChatGPT makes us 40% MORE productive and boosts output quality by 18%

The machines may one day rule over humanity -- but in the near term AI-based chatbots like ChatGPT could help struggling workers hold their own in writing tasks. Those are the findings of a new study, at least, which tracked the writing performance of 453 'experienced, college-educated professionals' divided equally into two groups: one taught to use ChatGPT and another forced to complete their writing assignments on their own. The researchers found that the chatbot made their test subjects 40-percent more productive and improved the quality of their work by 18 percent. In fact, a significant number of the study participants, who had been encouraged to use ChatGPT, stuck with the software for an added boost in the real world. After two weeks, 34 percent reported using ChatGPT in a professional setting.
