Each additional human essay adds a greater semantic diversity of ideas than each additional GPT-4 essay.

In Study 1, students with higher well-being at the beginning of the semester subsequently showed higher levels of online learning engagement and had higher GPAs. Study 2 partially replicated these findings, showing that students with higher well-being engaged more in online learning and achieved marginally higher GPAs

Virtual learning did not result in decreased happiness! This is not because students socialized more online, but because they socialized with loved ones at home rather than loved ones on campus.
