With the release of ChatGPT in 2022, classrooms in every academic department have been affected in one way or another by ChatGPT or other AI technologies. Many tout its advantages of 24/7 availability for students, tailored conversational options, increased reading and writing practice, immediate feedback possibilities, and the lightening of current teacher workloads, there are also an array of disadvantages and concerns that academics as well as students have.
