Academic writing and AI: Day-1 experiment

Abstract

To check the ability of AI to identify precise and detailed scientific information, I experiment with how accurate AI recognizes scientific terms, their origins, meanings, and usages, and whether the accuracy increases over time

Patterns of Utilizing Ai–assisted Tools Among Efl Students: Need Surveys for Assessment Model Development

“…AI writing tools such as ChatGPT (Nguyen, 2023) and Jenni.ai (Pinzolits, 2023) appear to be able to adequately provide accurate references and reports on a theory but may be less capable of presenting countless fundamental concepts. However, a study also discusses the cautions that the users have to take when referring to the citations and references created by ChatGPT, Jenni ai or other AI writing tools because the citations and references are in fact fake (Day, 2023).…”

“…While many reject the use of AI in academic writing, Le (2023) suggests otherwise, asserting the proposition that the human ability to analyze, synthesize and critically evaluate can be used in conjunction with various AI-based tools that should be treated as mere aids. This is because AI lacks the systematic reasoning ability to compose multi-paragraph essays that require precise and detailed information (Le, 2023;Nguyen, 2023). Day (2023) adds that although problems like fake citations or references are identified with the use of the technology, it is unlikely for the technology to disappear.…”

“…Assessment and evaluation procedures are rarely revised and evaluated. The literature review suggests that a quantitative research approach is suitable for generalizing the effects of AI on the assessment and evaluation of EFL essays and student performance (Anson & Straume, 2022;Nguyen, 2023;Sevcikova, 2018). Thus, the gap between the development of learning strategies and methods with the assessment and evaluation system implies the need to incorporate digital technology in the English essay assessment model to align with the sophistication of AI.…”

ChatGpt: Open Possibilities

“…It should be used as a tool to assist with academic writing, rather than to replace it. Moreover, the output generated by ChatGPT-3 should be fact-checked and reviewed by the user, since it's not always 100% accurate [2].…”

Postgraduate Students’ Perceptions on the Benefits Associated with Artificial Intelligence Tools on Academic Success: In Case of ChatGPT AI tool

“…According to Mohammed et al (2023), postgraduate students in higher education in India leverage ChatGPT to enhance their reading skills, ultimately contributing to academic success, for instance, by completing specific sections of their research on time. ChatGPT proves valuable for academics and postgraduate students alike in improving their academic writing skills and facilitating the editing process before submission (Baena-Rojas et al, 2023;Khabib, 2022;Nguyen, 2023;Ogurlu & Mossholder, 2023). In both undergraduate and postgraduate settings, students in higher education effectively utilise ChatGPT to enhance their writing style through its digital writing assistance service (Karyuatry, 2018;Ippolito et al, 2022;Rudolph et al, 2023).…”
