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.
