Before this Sora, and before that large government contracts. I don't think they care so much for the random consumer anymore. They use anything and everyone for PR but they get closer to IPO they are focusing what actually might make them profitable.
There used to be a “Custom GPT” feature which basically just creates a prompt wrapper with some extra functionality like being able to call web APIs for more data. Can’t seem to find that menu right now, but it would have easily replicated the study feature. Maybe it was limited to paid accounts only.
Yeah custom gpts are only for paid users. However u can create a new project under "Projects", name it, then when u create it, you can see on the top right the three dots button, click it, open project settings, and there u can place your system prompt under instructions. Every chat you start in that project would send those instructions as a system prompt to the model you are chatting with. so essentially "Study Mode" could be recreated with this approach, or at least it should.
I tried it a few times and always found it disappointing. It typically started off like a structured "lesson" but as I chatted with it, it would forget the syllabus is had proposed and we never "completed" the thing we set out to learn.
they do it with other stuff to i feel like they see how much users actually interact with those features and base their decsisoins kinda like how google owuld remove some features at random..
I was concerned about big players offering the same functionality when building listendock.com, but maybe there is a place for specialized apps like that.
I remember videos with titles like "OPENAI CHANGED STUDYING COMPLETELY WITH THIS ONE SUPER UPDATE!" and obnoxious thumbnails on youtube when it was first launched. I guess studying changed it.
Also discussed on HN. Yeah I can ignore them, but a lot of people watch those videos and fall for the grift (going by their views) and that's sad. It personally annoys me also when yt recommends them to me because it thinks I'm interested in software
I make sure to hit not interested the second I see anything I very much don't want pop up in me feed. I don't want mine to drift towards the average feed of the lowest effort, sensationalist garbage.

TL;DR: bet on stuff being removed
After all, this "mode" was just a system prompt (last time I looked).
Can it be replicated by a user?

I think this is pretty much the entirety of study mode. Never used it before but as long as there's no UI changes, yes, it's 100% replicable.

It’s still there, but the builder is only in the web UI.

Haven't use 'Study Mode' in OpenAI, but can't you just ask it to act as a study coach or whatever you want it to be?
Gemini still has its study mode.
What was the Study Mode? I never saw it.
I used to enjoy studying with ChatGPT too. I was on their Plus plan.

Use DeArrow, it allows you to avoid most of that clickbait farming.
You have these grifter videos for everything, from OpenAI features to hot takes on the strait of Hormuz. These are best ignored entirely.

Does this work? I've been doing that for some weeks now, nothing has changed about my home page.
