The Impact of Chat GPT on Education and Knowledge Transfer

Chat GPT, an AI-powered chatbot, has the potential to revolutionize academic practices and the transfer of knowledge. It uses deep learning algorithms to generate responses to natural language prompts, producing essays, answering questions, and more. While some see it as a tool for research and academic writing, others view it as a challenge to traditional education models.
