Why ChatGPT almost ruined my degree
I had no idea where to start studying. ChatGPT only gave me nonsense. So I developed a new, better method that would get me up to cruising altitude in no time...
I had no idea where to start studying.
Instead, all I got was nonsense.
When AI talks about Napoleon instead of the BCG matrix
The most absurd example: I asked ChatGPT about the BCG matrix for my business studies exam.
The AI started explaining the French Revolution to me.
Not even close to the right topic. It went on like that for an entire exam period. Completely off, again and again, with useless answers for my specific course content.
The scientific solution to a student problem
I can’t code. There were no other tools that met my standards. So I hired an agency to build a custom AI for me.
But first I looked scientifically at how best to prepare for exams. Studies by neuroscientists, interviews with other students, my own experience.
Why 2025 changes everything
My custom AI changed my studies dramatically and made them easier. But that’s only the beginning.
A brand-new Stanford study with more than 4,000 participants shows that generative AI triples work efficiency. For analytical tasks, even more.
2025 will be the year every student gets access to course-specific AI. No more of those generic tools that tell you about Napoleon when you’re studying business.
What university life looks like in 2025
Imagine this: you upload your course materials and the AI automatically creates structured study notes for you. Not just any notes, but exactly the ones that fit your professor and their exam style.
You ask for practice exams and get questions that actually match your material. You ask for summaries and get the key points in the order they’ll come up in the exam.
AI cuts the time spent on work tasks by more than 60%, and by over 70% for analytical and technical tasks.
Second: collect your course materials systematically. Lecture notes, slides, past exams. The more structured they are, the better AI can help you later.
The AI revolution is coming anyway
Universities won’t be able to ignore what’s already happening forever. 2025 will be the year higher education accepts that AI is here to stay.
Every student should take at least a basic course in AI. Not to learn to code, but to understand how these tools are changing learning.
Students who already understand how to use AI properly for their studies will have a huge head start in 2025.
University won’t become child’s play. But the tedious, time-consuming prep work will disappear.
And that means more time for what really matters. Understanding, applying, getting to the bottom of things.
Exactly how studying should be.
