Abstract

ChatGPT was widely discussed in the news when it first appeared. In several aspects, this technology is considered to have a large negative impact and has the potential to minimize human narrative abilities. The positive impact that leads to collaboration between human thought and technology, especially in the case of ChatGPT, is that humans and technology can collaborate and create more innovative impacts. This research was created to answer the need for technological developments by using Artificial Intelligence in learning, especially essay writing skills for students through the application of ChatGPT.
