2 Final Draft The development of ChatGpt, a large language model developed by OpenAI, has sparked a debate about the role of artificial intelligence in education. Many college and university students have been found using ChatGPT for their college and University works .In "If ChatGPT can do our homework, AI isn't the problem" Christopher Lidard (2023) argues that while some see ChatGPT as a threat to the college essay and others see it as a tool for streamlining education, the reality lies somewhere in between. Lidard (2023) argues that ChatGPT's limitations prevent it from completely replacing the college essay or making significant changes in education. Although Lidard recognizes the importance and potential impact of AI, his reasoning fails to address the ethical issues that arise from its implementation in educational activities. The use of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI, has sparked discussions on the future of traditional essay writing in education. However, it has significant limitations and should not replace critical thinking or original writing. Instead, educators should use ChatGPT to question the value of assignments that merely ask students to produce coherent text instead of coherent ideas. Homework should challenge students to extend core concepts, generate original arguments, and think critically. While ChatGPT may help find content or ideas, any text produced by it should be thoroughly checked for accuracy and precision before submission as student work. Ultimately, ChatGPT is a tool to aid the writing process, not replace essential skills in education. The use of ChatGPT may lead to lack of critical thinking skills. Lidard's article emphasizes the benefits of using AI to automate administrative tasks and personalize learning experiences for
3 students. However, the increasing use of AI in education may lead to a decline in critical thinking skills among students. While, there are also concerns about the ethical implications of using AI in the classroom, particularly around issues of privacy and data security. There is also the risk of over-reliance on technology, which could limit students' ability to learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills . Students may become too dependent on AI-generated solutions without fully understanding the underlying concepts and processes. An informative article called "ChatGPT can hinder students' critical thinking skills" by Ben Civil (2023) has its clear explanations how the use of ChatGPT can hinders the critical thinking power of students. Ben (2023) believes that students may feel demotivated by writing that has been generated by AI. When students use ChatGPT to generate their writing without going through the actual writing process, they deprive themselves of the chance to learn. By depending on ChatGPT to bypass the learning process, students are less likely to enhance their writing abilities or change their learning approach. Although ChatGPT can be beneficial in certain circumstances, it must not substitute for the effort and dedication required to cultivate these crucial skills. Tech News (2023) speaks up that Although AI models like ChatGPT have the possibility to transform our relationship with technology, they could also produce unanticipated outcomes in regards to critical thinking and education. The utilization of AI language models could trigger ethical issues concerning academic integrity and plagiarism. Even though some may contend that deploying AI to produce text is not a form of plagiarism, it remains vital for students to understand the appropriate methods for citing sources and attributing others' ideas. When students are aware that they can rely on ChatGPT to finish their assignments, they might become indolent and neglect the opportunity to genuinely learn and comprehend the subject matter. Lidard acknowledges the potential educational benefits that AI can offer, but his argument fails to take into account critical ethical questions that arise from the use of AI in education.
