Uses and Misuses of ChatGPT as an AI-Language Model in Academic Writing

Abstract-This paper aims to examine the uses and misuses of ChatGPT, an AI-language model developed by OpenAI, in academic writing. It explores how ChatGPT can enhance academic writing by generating ideas, improving grammar, assisting in research, and aiding collaborative writing. The study highlights the advantages of using ChatGPT as a valuable tool for academic writing, including its ability to assist in brainstorming, improve grammar and syntax, and provide relevant information. However, this paper also addresses the misuses and limitations of ChatGPT in academic writing. Concerns are raised regarding the accuracy and reliability of the information generated by ChatGPT, as well as the potential for unintentional plagiarism when relying solely on the outputs of artificial intelligence. Ethical considerations surrounding transparency and integrity in scholarly pursuits are also discussed. The findings of this study showed that by understanding both the potential benefits and risks associated with ChatGPT, stakeholders can make better decisions about its application in academic writing, ensuring that it is used effectively and responsibly to advance scholarly pursuits.
