Maximize Your Understanding of ChatGPT's Impact on Worker Productivity

Study Notes

ChatGPT can increase worker productivity by substituting for worker effort or complementing their skills.
Evidence suggests that ChatGPT primarily increases productivity by substituting for worker effort.
68% of treated participants report submitting ChatGPT's initial output without editing it.
Treated participants are active on the task for only 3 minutes on average after pasting in a large quantity of text.
There is no correlation between how long a participant is active after pasting in the ChatGPT text and the grade they ultimately receive.
Treated respondents do not receive higher average grades than raw ChatGPT output that evaluators grade.
Figure 2 shows that grade inequality decreases and time taken decreases across the initial grade distribution.
ChatGPT substantially changes the structure of writing tasks.
Prior to treatment, participants spend about 25% of their time brainstorming, 50% writing a rough draft, and 25% editing.
Post-treatment, the share of time spent writing a rough draft falls by more than half and the share of time spent editing more than doubles.
