About this episode
Harvard student and blogger Maya Bodnick put ChatGPT to the test, literally. She explains her experiment using the AI to write essays for her professors, including which grades the technology earned. One of her own professors, former CEA chairman Jason Furman, discusses how he’s choosing to change his class and his essay requirements, in the wake of Bodnick’s experiment. Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement, Furman also shares his perspective on inflation and another hike. Plus, Elon Musk is using X to explain X, and CNBC’s Robert Frank explains a change for the IRS is on its doorstep.
