          Abstract

          In the past decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies have become increasingly prevalent in the academic world. This growing trend has led to debates about the impact of these technologies on academia. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of ChatGPT, an AI and machine learning technology, in the academic field and to determine academics' perceptions of it. To achieve this goal, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 academics, and their views on the subject were analyzed. It is seen that academics believe that ChatGPT will play a helpful role as a tool in scientific research and educational processes and can serve as an inspiration for new topics and research areas. Despite these advantages, academics also have ethical concerns, such as plagiarism and misinformation. The study found that ChatGPT is viewed positively as a useful tool in scientific research and education, but ethical concerns such as plagiarism and misinformation need to be addressed.

          ChatGPT is fun, but not an author

          In less than 2 months, the artificial intelligence (AI) program ChatGPT has become a cultural sensation. It is freely accessible through a web portal created by the tool’s developer, OpenAI. The program—which automatically creates text based on written prompts—is so popular that it’s likely to be “at capacity right now” if you attempt to use it. When you do get through, ChatGPT provides endless entertainment. I asked it to rewrite the first scene of the classic American play Death of a Salesman , but to feature Princess Elsa from the animated movie Frozen as the main character instead of Willy Loman. The output was an amusing conversation in which Elsa—who has come home from a tough day of selling—is told by her son Happy, “Come on, Mom. You’re Elsa from Frozen . You have ice powers and you’re a queen. You’re unstoppable.” Mash-ups like this are certainly fun, but there are serious implications for generative AI programs like ChatGPT in science and academia.

              What if the devil is my guardian angel: ChatGPT as a case study of using chatbots in education

              Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been progressing constantly and being more visible in different aspects of our lives. One recent phenomenon is ChatGPT, a chatbot with a conversational artificial intelligence interface that was developed by OpenAI. As one of the most advanced artificial intelligence applications, ChatGPT has drawn much public attention across the globe. In this regard, this study examines ChatGPT in education, among early adopters, through a qualitative instrumental case study. Conducted in three stages, the first stage of the study reveals that the public discourse in social media is generally positive and there is enthusiasm regarding its use in educational settings. However, there are also voices who are approaching cautiously using ChatGPT in educational settings. The second stage of the study examines the case of ChatGPT through lenses of educational transformation, response quality, usefulness, personality and emotion, and ethics. In the third and final stage of the study, the investigation of user experiences through ten educational scenarios revealed various issues, including cheating, honesty and truthfulness of ChatGPT, privacy misleading, and manipulation. The findings of this study provide several research directions that should be considered to ensure a safe and responsible adoption of chatbots, specifically ChatGPT, in education.
