understanding adeptness permits it to generate and perceive the nuances and
subtleties of different languages and dialects. GPT-4 is also better at understanding
context and distinguishing between different types of text, such as factual, creative,
and emotional. It can translate among a variety of languages, including English,
French, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Japanese. GPT-4 can be used to write
different kinds of creative content, such as poems, code, scripts, musical pieces,
emails, and letters (Think Again Lab, 2023). It is more creative and collaborative than

AI for Student Learning
Baffour (2023) extends the language potential for AI to support its use of text generators
in classrooms on several grounds. She affirms that technology in education has greatly
expanded the possibilities for how students can learn. Digital tools, such as ChatGPT,
have helped make education more accessible and personalized. As an example,
ChatGPT can be used for automated writing evaluation—the use of systems that
employ Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to assess student writing
automatically. This use enables robots to analyze and comprehend human language,
empowering them to carry out repetitive activities without human intervention.
Baffour (2023) believes in AI tools and their unconditional support to teachers
and students. AI machines can provide immediate feedback on various areas of
writing because they process and respond to a text at near-lightning speed. When
they identify areas of student writing that need improvement, such as word choice,
clarity, cohesion, grammar, spelling, and punctuation, they can also provide automatic
suggestions for improving these areas of concern. Thus, these tools significantly
save educators much time and effort in assessing such writing.
Another reason Baffour (2023) champions ChatGPT is that it can empower
students to take a more active role in their learning progress because it can generate
writing prompts and exercises to help students sharpen their writing skills. Stern
(2023) adds that this AI tool can also alter the reading level to differentiate instruction, a
strategy to enhance the work of students who have writing skills that need to be strengthened
or polished.
Furthermore, a benefit for utilizing ChatGPT is that regular writing practice
improves writing skills and enhances critical thinking and communication. Modeling
of grammar features, sentence structure, punctuation, and organization can help
each student to develop better writing skills on a personal level. Tailor-made writing
