Conducting Academic Research with the AI Interface ChatGPT: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Artificial intelligence technologies have become popular in recent years. The question of whether chatboxes can be used in academic writing or research in artificial intelligence applications attracts the attention of many researchers. Can conducting scientific research with artificial intelligence help in the research process? Can AI work like a co-writer? In this study, the opportunities and challenges experienced in the scientific research process using the ChatGPT application were examined. It critiqued and included a previous study in the scientific research process under specific themes. The results show that while artificial intelligence technologies provide opportunities to researchers in terms of approval, creativity, and offering different perspectives, it is seen that there are reliability problems in producing content and it brings ethical and plundering issues. Therefore, artificial intelligence does not write articles for you but provides some tips and support in article writing.
