ChatGPT is an AI language model introduced in 2021 that can generate human-like text through natural language conversations. It has raised concerns about potential misuse due to its ability to produce realistic text. There are concerns it could enable cheating by generating academic assignments, exam questions, or tutoring responses. However, it may also have beneficial applications if used to supplement education by generating custom questions for students or creating chatbots to engage students through problem-solving.

Chatting and cheating: Ensuring academic integrity in the era of ChatGPT
What is ChatGPT and when did it emerge?
ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, Brown et al., Citation2020) artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI. It is specifically designed to generate human-like text in a conversational style, and was introduced in 2021. It is notable for its ability to perform a wide range of language tasks, including translation, summarisation, question answering, and text generation, with little or no taskspecific training. It has also attracted significant attention and controversy due to its ability to generate realistic and coherent text, raising concerns about the potential uses and impacts of AI in the field of language processing. Another application of GPT-3 is in content generation. GPT-3 has been used to generate articles (Transformer et al., Citation2022), stories (Lucy & Bamman, Citation2021), and other types of written content, with some users reporting that the generated text is difficult to distinguish from text written by humans (Elkins & Chun, Citation2020). Assessment is an integral part of higher education, serving as a means of evaluating student learning and progress. This could be especially useful in courses that focus on language skills or critical thinking, as GPT-3 could be used to create questions that are tailored to each student’s level of proficiency and that challenge them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills (Bommasani et al., Citation2021). GPT-3 could be used to create chatbots or virtual assistants that challenge students to solve problems or answer questions through natural language interaction. This could be a fun and engaging way for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and could also help to teach them valuable communication and problem solving skills
