AI managed to overtake the market of study tools so quickly that we almost forgot there was another way only a couple of years ago. AI assistants have quickly become a favorite tool among students who are not as proficient at traditional learning. Students often struggle with homework because the information in class was either too complex or not challenging enough. AI can solve math equations, write code, and, of course, generate essays.
Before the age of AI, quality education was only available to the select few. It’s true! Although a lot of countries have free education, not many care about the quality of it, and even less care about what the students actually learned until it’s finals time.
But the days of privilege are gone, now AI is transforming every classroom around the world, and we’re just getting started! Let me walk you through all the perks ordinary people get when learning with AI.
- Personalizes Learning Styles
One size fits all? That approach never worked in education, and AI finally gives us an alternative. Traditional classrooms move at the same pace, regardless of whether you grasped the concept or not. Teachers don’t have time to wait for you. Many try writing papers for money because they just can’t keep up with the curriculum. AI will help you learn in your particular writing style at your pace. You can easily describe your manner of expression in writing, whether you’re an auditory or a visual learner, how fast you understand and what it takes for you to remember.

Here’s how you can personalize your learning experience with the help of AI:
- Visual learners will get infographics, pictures, diagrams – anything visual that will make complex concepts easily digestible.
- Hands-on learners can benefit from the hundreds and thousands of scenarios AI can generate within minutes.
- Auditory learners can get the best use of voice mode on AI assistants.
- Fast learners can skip over the things they already know and avoid the boredom of repetitive information.
- Breaks Geographic Barriers
Educational resources are sparse in many geographical areas, so that’s where AI really shines through. All anyone really needs is a Starlink and a ChatGPT account. And there you are, learning Japanese to understand your favorite anime character. Distance is no longer the factor in whether you can master a specific skill or not. The only thing that matters now is your willingness to learn.

- Supports You 24/7
Your questions don’t have a schedule, and now your “TA” doesn’t have one either. AI assistants are on call 24/7 – they don’t have working hours and are ready to help when inspiration strikes at 2 AM or minutes before your deadline.
This round-the-clock availability is a total game-changer for those of us who have more on our plates than just studying. Working students can finally get to learning after a full shift at their jobs. No more choosing between money and grades, you get both!
Parents who study can do a quick lesson after tucking the kids in for a nap or after active hours. Some work better after 8 PM. And, of course, those of us who love the peace and quiet of an early morning can study with their natural rhythms. Watching the dawn with a math problem on your mind is a specific type of dedication.
- Helps You Outline an Issue
Even if you enjoy writing yourself, you’re probably not a fan of the research part of the process. It’s so time-consuming, right? It often takes more time than the writing itself!
Well, this is another task you can outsource to AI – to an extent, of course. Here’s a sample prompt we wrote to this end: “Generate an essay outline on the topic ‘The causes of the French Revolution: economic, political, and social factors.'”
As a result, we got a six-part outline with key points to break down in every part. This saved us tons of time in figuring out the exact factors we’d have to write about: OpenAI’s creation listed all of them in the outline.
But that’s not all. You can also have AI generate a thesis statement for you! In our Chat GPT essay testing, the tool sometimes added a full-fledged thesis statement to the outline without being explicitly asked to do so.
Once you have your outline, another question arises. Can ChatGPT write essays based on it? The answer is yes; however, you should double-check if it followed your requirements to a T. The tool sometimes misses certain points or doesn’t stick with the desired word count.
- Assesses Your Writing And Helps You Edit
You might not know about another cool feature this tool has. If you’re looking for true perfection, editing your draft with an AI assistant is for you. And yes, you can also use this feature even if you’ve written the draft yourself. You just have to paste your own text and ask AI to improve it.
There are three ways you can go about it:
- Just ask the AI to improve your draft. This is a general request, but the AI does a good job working with it.
- Specify your editing objectives in the prompt. You can type, “Make this draft concise, clear, and easy to read” or “Proofread this draft and get rid of grammar and punctuation mistakes.”
- Highlight the part you need help editing. It can be a sentence or a paragraph that sounds a bit off when you read it out loud.
Traditional tutoring is often difficult to access for those who are not ready to pay a whole salary to another person who’s willing to teach them, so AI tutoring might be the choice for most people.
The Future Is Now, They Say
Yes, an AI assistant can help you with all of this! The future truly is here: you can outsource teaching to AI now. Sounds wild, but it’s the reality. So, if you don’t use it yet, you’re missing out on an opportunity to better yourself in the fields you really need. No more boring topics and irrelevant problems to solve. With an AI assistant, you’re free to choose the subject to dive into.
However, keep in mind that AI has its limitations. Some information must be wrong (as it always says in the bottom of your screen), so you should check any important facts you’re planning on using.
