I been saying this for a min, the intelligence gap is gonna be huge in the future and extremely noticeable. You can see it now with the rise of Anti- intellectualism and the dismissal of deep thinking.

fukk chegg
$1.90
That is a nasty drop.
And with newer generations of students coming into college without ever seeing a college text book in their life, it’s lights out for Chegg unless they get swallowed up or strictly get into the ebook game.
Wild that 5 years ago during the height of CoronaMania they were at $113 (their ATH) in February 2021 then $31 in November 2021 — and never recovered since the price kept bottoming out.
Probably sat on their asses during Covid and figured the pandemic would last a lot longer and those rental orders would fly off the shelves.
Exactly. I've been saying since smartphones came out that by the time I'm a senior citizen, those of us who were in the last generations to grow up without them are going to seem like gods among men. ChatGPT and whatever comes next is only going to make that worse.
I'm jealous af of yall youngins who get to go thru college with this shyt available at your fingertips.
YouTube had just come out in my college days
At this point You got ZERO excuses to be failing any class
Why not just send a check to Phoenix University if that's all you want to get out of college?
Too bad he didn't survive to see this thread:

Ethan Mollick says students don't raise their hands in class as much because they don't want to expose their ignorance when AI can answer their questions, and the use of AI is leading to the illusion of competence and lower test scores

AI can help learning... when it isn't a crutch.
There are now multiple controlled experiments showing that students who use AI to get answers to problems hurts learning (even though they think they are learning), but that students who use AI as a tutor perform better on tests.

I had a teacher when I was in high school that bribed me to always raise my hand and ask really stupid questions before everyone else.
It set the bar for participation as really low, because everyone knew they could AT LEAST contribute something better than I did.

Not sure that asking AI for questions wouldn't provide learning. Students might need though to learn how to ask AI to learn the most. A (good) human teacher will try to double check and make sure that students understood. An AI will just provide an explanation and unless re-prompted to extend or explain otherwise that would be it. Easily improvable with an application wrapper instructed to do similar. Did that wrapper cot app for my kids like in april 2023... now they use chatpgt directly using the right patterns, verification, etc. to activate their learning. That what students need to learn...

I find with AI that when you keep seeing what is needed in a program, you get used to sticking to what works, which is a good thing as it's constant training with the very best.

Just watched my 5-year-old son chat with ChatGPT advanced voice mode for over 45 minutes.
It started with a question about how cars were made.
It explained it in a way that he could understand.
He started peppering it with questions.
Then he told it about his teacher, and that he was learning to count.
ChatGPT started quizzing him on counting, and egging him on, making it into a game.
He was laughing and having a blast, and it (obviously) never lost patience with him.
I think this is going to be revolutionary. The essentially free, infinitely patient, super genius teacher that calibrates itself perfectly to your kid's learning style and pace.
Excited about the future.

In homeschooling when we run into topics we are confused about or want to dig deeper into, we’ll set a timer (15 min, 30 min), hit ChatGPT to learn everything we can about the topic, then meet up and teach each other.
Wildly effective because the different prompts glean different perspectives. And learning something to the level of being able to teach it is crucial for retention.

Once advanced voice mode is integrated with the ability to show text, images, math, etc... this use case will explode.

are you curious how openai got o1 to produce different-sized thought chains?
my team published a first-of-a-kind study lifting the veil off their techniques and exposing how they controlled inference-time compute to generate this graph:

asking o1 to think longer doesn't work. it just ends up thinking less. this was in the o1 handbook by openai, and I have tested it to be true too

I've attempted this already, but I couldn't get consistent results.
The process sometimes takes an unreasonable amount of time and other times it doesn't.
I've also observed that when you instruct it to plan ahead, it can reduce the thinking process and include the planning in the output.

Google Gemini 2.0 realtime AI is insane.
Watch me turn it into a live code tutor just by sharing my screen and talking to it.
We’re living in future.
I’m speechless.

This is why the “Is it AGI???” conversations are so silly.
90% of people would’ve said this was AGI if you showed this to them 2 years ago.
The goalposts will keep moving…
And it won’t matter.
Because it’s already magic.

Now I’m REALLY hoping one of OpenAI’s 12 days is AVM with video.
Give me alllll the realtime products you can feed me.
Feeling so lucky to be living in a genuine technological revolution.
Imagine what this can do for education alone!
So happy rn

I had early access to this and have been building APIs/SDKs for the realtime/multimodal things that Google launched today. The voices are great and the video and spatial reasoning are super-impressive.
If you want to build your own app that has conversational, multimodal features, there are Open Source client SDKs with Gemini 2.0 multimodal support. Web, React, Android, iOS, and C++ — part of the @pipecat_ai ecosystem and officially blessed by Google.
These SDKs have device management, echo cancellation, and noise reduction built in. Plus lots of other features including hooks for function calling and tool use. They support both WebSocket and WebRTC network transport.
Here’s a full-featured starter kit built on the React SDK — a chat application with:
- a voice-to-voice WebSocket mode,
- an HTTP mode for text and image input,
and
- a WebRTC mode with text, voice, camera video and screenshare video.

Chegg sues Google, explores sale after AI search summaries hit revenues
Company's CEO says Google AI overviews serve to keep users on Google.

Chegg is suing Google parent Alphabet over claims the search engine’s artificial intelligence summary tool has hit its revenues, leading the US-listed educational technology group to weigh up a sale of the business.
California-based Chegg, which provides study tools for students, filed the complaint on Monday claiming that Google AI Overviews, which presents users with summary answers to their queries, serves to keep users on Google’s own site.
Chief executive Nathan Schultz said the search giant’s AI search changes had “unjustly retained traffic that has historically come to Chegg, impacting our acquisitions, revenue and employees.”
He added this was “materially impacting” revenues, leading the company to instigate a strategic revenue in which it would explore “a range of alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including being acquired, undertaking a go-private transaction, or remaining as a public standalone company.”
Google said: “With AI Overviews, people find search more helpful and use it more, creating new opportunities for content to be discovered. Every day, Google sends billions of clicks to sites across the web, and AI Overviews send traffic to a greater diversity of sites. We will defend against these meritless claims.”
Chegg’s move comes as developments in AI shake global industries, from health care to education and the automotive sector. The fast development of generative AI since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022 has upended demand for edtech companies’ paid-for online learning tools, leading their valuations to plummet.
The company’s shares were down 22 percent in premarket trading on Tuesday. Chegg’s stock is down more than 80 percent over the past year.
Edtech businesses are grappling with how to harness the benefits of generative AI, often integrating some of the tools into their own products, while also being wary of AI companies establishing rival platforms, such as OpenAI’s recently launched ChatGPT Edu and Google’s LearnLM.
In November, Chegg announced it was cutting another fifth of its workforce, having implemented a round of redundancies just six months earlier.
The company’s experience marks a wider trend of falling investment in online education companies, which last year fell to its lowest level in a decade in part because of the rapid rise of free generative AI tools.
Edtech businesses received just $3 billion of investment in 2024, compared with $17.3 billion at the peak of the pandemic in 2021, according to data from PitchBook.
Chegg reported on Monday that total net revenues for the three-month period to the end of December dropped nearly a quarter to $143.5 million compared with the previous year, while the number of service subscribers fell 21 percent to 3.6 million.
Total net revenues for the full year were down 14 percent at $617.6 million, the company said, while the number of service subscribers also fell 14 percent to 6.6 million.

Chegg Introduces Solution Scout: AI-Powered Tool to Help Students Learn More Efficiently and Confidently

Solution Scout allows students to compare multiple language models alongside Chegg’s proprietary content, saving students time and helping them identify a more trustworthy and relevant solution
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Chegg, Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) announced the launch of Solution Scout, a powerful new tool designed to help students efficiently compare solutions from multiple sources – including Chegg’s extensive archive as well as leading AI frontier models. Enhanced with Chegg’s proprietary comparison summaries, the tool highlights key differences in AI-generated summaries so students can spend less time searching and more time learning.
With over a decade of learning insights, Chegg understands the evolving needs of students and has observed a critical pain point when it comes to using AI to support learning. Verifying the accuracy of solutions found online – especially from AI-generated sources – is often necessary yet time-consuming. Relying on a single source can be risky, and when students have doubts, they spend their valuable study time finding and comparing solutions across different sources.
Solution Scout enables easy comparison of solutions from different foundational LLM models, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude alongside Chegg’s solutions. The tool automatically highlights discrepancies and areas of agreement, providing students with an AI-generated summary that distills key differences and points of consensus – eliminating the challenge of making apples-to-oranges comparisons between different sources. This innovation transforms what was once a fragmented, time-consuming process into a seamless learning experience, helping students gain confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the solutions they are seeking.
"Students deserve to learn with confidence on a platform that was designed specifically with learning in mind. With Solution Scout, we’re providing students with a transparent comparison of solutions, allowing them to quickly assess, understand nuances, and arrive at a solution with ease of mind – so they can focus on learning and not scouring different AI tools for help," said Nathan Schultz, President and CEO of Chegg, Inc. "We’ve heard directly from students, including through our 2025 Global Student Survey, and of the students who used GenAI to support their studies, 53% expressed concern about ‘receiving incorrect or inaccurate information’ when using GenAI tools that are not built specifically for education. Solution Scout is the next step in our product innovation, aimed at delivering on what the modern student needs to be successful."
Chegg is inviting AI into the conversation and allowing students to understand the commonalities and differences of different models in one convenient location, ultimately helping them with their overall study workflows. Students are already doing this, but Solution Scout helps students compare solutions fast and reduce guesswork on assignments so they can spend less time verifying the information and more time learning.
The launch of Solution Scout follows the introduction of Chegg’s new Create functionality, which allows students to generate custom practice tests from their own class notes, helping to ensure their study experience aligns with what they’re learning in the classroom. These tools represent a significant step in Chegg’s evolution toward a truly personalized learning experience, helping students access solutions best suited for them based on their individual goals. Together, Solution Scout and Create make Chegg feel more like a smart, personal learning assistant than a traditional study tool.
