Claim as Clarified¶
Noy and Zhang found the same leveling pattern in professional writing.
BLUF¶
Confirmed with nuance. Noy and Zhang (2023, Science) studied 453 (some sources say 444) college-educated professionals and found ChatGPT reduced time by 40% and improved quality by 18%. The key finding was inequality compression: low-ability workers benefited most. However, some analyses showed grade gains were roughly flat across skill levels, complicating the 'leveling' narrative.

- Timeframe: As specified in claim
- Testability: Verifiable via published literature
