- “To argue using Rawls, structure your point as…”
First exam with ChatGPT: A-. Previous average: D+.
Claude organized chaos better than any study drug
Michael’s old system: All-nighters, Adderall, panic, crash, repeat.

Who else is making comebacks with ChatGPT?

They’re not failures. They just needed better tools.
ChatGPT didn’t make Michael smarter – it made him believe he was smart
The same brain that got 1.7 GPA got 3.8 GPA. The difference wasn’t intelligence. It was access to explanation, organization, and support.
ChatGPT explained. Claude organized. Perplexity researched. Michael just had to show up and try.
Now heading to Goldman Sachs. They think he’s brilliant. Maybe he always was. ChatGPT just helped him prove it.
