AI writing tools can be used to level up everyone's skill set in a workplace setting.
Can AI tools act as an equaliser?
MIT economics graduate students recently ran an experiment involving hundreds of college-educated professionals.
Occupations drawn on were marketers, grant writers, consultants, data analysts, human resource professionals, and managers. The tasks were 20-to 30-minute assignments including writing press releases, short reports, analysis plans, and delicate emails.
They asked half to use ChatGPT by OpenAI, in their daily tasks and the others not to.
ChatGPT raised overall productivity, but here’s the interesting result: the AI tool helped the least skilled and accomplished workers the most, decreasing the performance gap between employees.
The poor writers became much better, the good writers simply a little faster.
