Abstract

The introduction of ChatGPT has attracted attention from a wide range of academics, and many scholars have conducted research and evaluation on it. This article will focus on the application of ChatGPT in university learning, first listing various applications, and then discussing and evaluating these applications comprehensively and critically. For students, ChatGPT can be used for text generation, translation, grammar calibration, information filtering, and individualised learning, while teachers can utilise ChatGPT to devise courses and quizzes. ChatGPT excels in efficiency and convenience, but it is also crucial to be vigilant of the drawbacks and ethical issues of ChatGPT when using it, such as low-quality answers, risks of undermining students’ learning abilities and exacerbating educational inequality, as well as privacy leakage, and the impact of biased data. Therefore, this article suggests that users should be cautious in using ChatGPT and improve their learning abilities, while ChatGPT still needs to improve its own system functions.
