ChatGPT Application in Educational Setting: Benefits and Drawbacks
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular in education, with ChatGPT and other similar applications becoming well-known learning aids. This review highlights ChatGPT's use in educational settings, looking at both the possible advantages and disadvantages of the technology. Data were sourced from systematic review of literature relating to ChatGPT prospects and challenges in education from various databases including Google scholar, Research gate, Academia.edu, Scopus and the internet. The result from the reviews indicates that positively, ChatGPT improves individualized learning by helping with language comprehension, offering immediate feedback, and responding to intricate questions. It is an additional tool that supports teachers and students, encouraging self-directed learning and accommodating different learning preferences. However, there are also issues with using ChatGPT, such as an excessive reliance on AI, the possibility of false information, and a decline in critical thinking abilities. Its usage is made more difficult by ethical concerns about bias, data privacy, and academic honesty. This study offers a balanced overview of how ChatGPT is changing education through an evaluation of existing literature, emphasizing the necessity for thoughtful implementation to optimize its advantages while resolving its drawbacks. We conclude that ChatGPT should be engaged as a supplementary resource for education rather than an apparatus for substituting critical thinking or performing educational tasks without applying the necessary mental effort required for teaching and learning.
