summary
Research shows AI narrows performance gaps dramatically — a study reports the difference between bottom and top halves falling from 44% to 4%, with novices improving 43% versus experts 17%. Tools demonstrated: ChatGPT/Copilot/Claude, notebookLM for querying uploaded media, Napkin AI for visualizations, and Codeex/Codex in IDEs. A 17‑minute AI‑generated podcast synthesizes nine papers. Risks include hallucinations, overreliance and worse performance on creative tasks outside the model’s jacked frontier. Codeex users learn faster with slightly better retention.
