Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

A preregistered online experiment assigned occupation-specific writing tasks to 444 college-educated professionals and randomized half to ChatGPT access; the abstract reports shorter completion time, higher output quality, larger benefits for lower-ability workers, and effort shifting toward idea generation and editing.

Scope: Universe and denominator: 444 college-educated professionals overall, with half assigned access; unit: worker and writing task; period: not displayed; exact arm counts and task-level denominators are not displayed.

Structured relationships

In-corpus citations

Only source-supplied cites relationships whose two endpoints are admitted are shown. Invocation evidence remains a separate relationship.

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text was not inspected.
  • The search result displayed a posted date of 2023-03-07 while the abstract page displayed 2023-03-06; posted_date is therefore left null rather than smoothing the conflict.
  • Exact arm counts, task counts per participant, uncertainty, and persistence beyond the experiment are not displayed.
