Once again, MIT wanted to put ChatGPT to the test and now they have dared to evaluate the skills of workers in the field of writing with this chatbot and without it. The results speak for themselves.
Artificial intelligence-based chatbots, such as the aforementioned ChatGPT ad nauseam, are transforming the way professionals carry out their work.
A study by economists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) just revealed that using ChatGPT can increase productivity and improve work quality by 40% and 18%, respectively.
The experiment involved 453 workers with experience and university education -specifically professionals from various fields, such as marketing, writing, consulting, data analysis and human resources-, divided into 2 groups.
While one group was taught to use ChatGPT, the other was asked to complete tasks that involved writing on their own. The results were amazing as those who used the chatbot performed better.
An interesting finding from the study was that participants with poor typing skills benefited the most from using ChatGPT. With this it is clear that it is really a great assistant when it comes to increasing your abilities – in writing in this case.
ChatGPT increases productivity by 40% and improves work quality by 18%
MIT noted that the arrival of ChatGPT marks the beginning of an era filled with uncertainty about the economic and employment effects of AI. However, previous studies have already shown the productivity-enhancing benefits offered by AI technologies.
In addition to the quantitative results, the study also delved into evaluating the emotional reactions of the participants to the use of ChatGPT. It was found that the group that used the chatbot enjoyed carrying out their work more and also showed great enthusiasm and optimism about the future of AI in the world of work.
The overall results of the study clearly demonstrate how artificial intelligence is transforming writing and opening up new opportunities to improve productivity and quality of work in this field.
AI-based chatbots undeniably offer a very accessible and really effective solution for this type of taskeven as they have already shown for those with less developed skills.
In short, it could be said that this marks the beginning of an era of potential changes in the way in which workers approach these chatbots to improve their written quality or increase their productivity and it is expected that AI will gradually find a role. increasingly important in the future of work.
