Students found to fare better at accounting exams than ChatGPT

Researchers found students to have fared better at accounting exams than ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot product.

Despite this, they said ChatGPT’s performance was “impressive” and that it was a “game changer that will change the way everyone teaches and learns – for the better”.

The researchers from Brigham Young University (BYU), US, and 186 other universities wanted to know how OpenAI’s technology would fare on accounting exams. They have published their findings in the journal Issues in Accounting Education.
