Abstract

The study explores the potential of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, in moulding university students’ writing as a part of the Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) experience. The authors discuss the impacts of ChatGPT on students’ writing based on their experience using ChatGPT and the ways it is used in assisting their university writing tasks. This study also reveals the students’ usage patterns and overall perceptions towards AI-assisted writing. Fifty-six students of Universiti Teknologi MARA who are avid users of ChatGPT were involved in this study. The data obtained were analysed using statistical techniques to determine the students’ perceptions and patterns in using ChatGPT in their writing. The study revealed that the usage of ChatGPT has significantly impacted the ability to write among the respondents positively. However, it also highlights some concerns in terms of their reliance towards the use of AI in their writing. Even though ChatGPT does improve students’ writing abilities and productivity, there are issues in terms of academic integrity and overreliance towards AI-generated writing by students that must be addressed.
