Safe Ways to Use ChatGPT to Study Better (No Cheating)

I don’t think I need to introduce ChatGPT; in my opinion, it is a search engine with some generalization ability. Let’s dive in on how to use it to improve our work. As a student, I asked ChatGPT two questions frequently this month, which greatly helped.

Please list the most cited papers on the … topic

Please make this paragraph more academic

Therefore, I’d like to reflect on how to use ChatGPT to increase study efficiency. Here are four ways I used in the last three months. It’s worth noting that copying the question and asking ChatGPT to write the complete essay is dangerous since the answer is not 100% correct, its writing style differs from yours, and your classmates might get a similar answer. For research students, you will find the answers to niche questions are wrong. And you can’t check the sources too.

As mentioned above, I ask it to make my writing more academic. I use plain English since it is not my first language, and academic writing is always a nightmare. But I will prove reading very carefully since ChatGPT tends to add sentences that are not coherent with the rest of my article. Common instructions are these:

(1) Please make it more academic

(2) Please improve this paragraph

(3) Please correct grammar errors
