Abstract

This study explores the impact of using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by OpenAI, on students' performance in writing assignments. As ChatGPT becomes increasingly integrated into educational settings, it may influence students' ability to complete assignments and potentially diminish their interest in traditional learning methods. The research employed quantitative methods, utilizing a close-ended questionnaire as the primary instrument. The sample consisted of 30 students from various institutions, including Muhammadiyah University, Darussalam Gontor University (UNIDA), and State Islamic Ar-Raniry University. The findings indicate that relying on ChatGPT for writing assignments can affect students' independence and reduce their engagement with traditional learning approaches. Students who excessively depend on ChatGPT for writing may experience a decline in their critical and analytical thinking skills. However, when used wisely, ChatGPT can enhance the quality of learning and increase the efficiency of completing assignments
