<![CDATA[In the digital era, students' interactions with technology have become increasingly widespread, including the use of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT as a medium for both academic and personal communication. This study aims to analyze the communication patterns between students of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia and ChatGPT, as well as its psychological impacts on users.

The findings reveal that students utilize ChatGPT as a source of academic information, a discussion partner, and a tool for personal reflection. The communication patterns observed exhibit supportive, responsive, and affective styles.

This study recommends the development of digital communication literacy and the conscious use of technology to ensure that human–AI interactions remain psychologically healthy and productive.]]>
