Assalamualaikum and good day!
And so, merely four months of its public release into the cyberspace, an artificial intelligent chat bot and
its variants have stirred up a contentious discussion among intellectuals and scholars. Among the
popular platforms, ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, designed to generate
human-like text based on the input it receives.
This model is trained on a vast amount of data and uses the latest techniques in natural language
processing to produce responses that are both relevant and coherent. While it is not perfect and may
occasionally produce responses that are off-topic or nonsensical, it is a powerful tool for generating text
in a variety of contexts.
In academic writing, ChatGPT can do many wonderful things. The bot can assist us in generating ideas,
improving vocabulary, proofreading, summarizing and paraphrasing academic jargons into beautiful
and meaningful sentences. This makes our lives more convenient and allows us to allocate our time
towards other productive pursuits. Therefore, we no longer have any justification for not becoming
accomplished writers.
This is sounding a bit scary though, at least for me. These artificial intelligences make us looks like a
helpless little minion in this creepy cyberworld. We are becoming too much dependent on Technology.
Some of you might remember James Cameron’s blockbuster movie The Terminator, a cyborg assassin
sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, whose unborn son will one day save mankind
from extinction by Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future. The plot is
intricate, yet the film is highly enjoyable.
The technological advancements at our disposal are simply instruments that can be utilized judiciously
to increase our productivity and efficiency. However, if we misuse them, we may encounter severe
repercussions. Alas, our concern however isn’t really that important in the grand scheme of things.
It is our hope, with the abundance of friendly chatbots available to assist us, we aspire to enhance our
writing skills and create exceptional written works for the benefit of our audience.
Eid Mubarak
