This flood of information is unfriendly to those who don’t truly understand ChatGPT but want to use it to improve their paper writing. Without proper guidance and discernment, many students might blindly imitate and misuse ChatGPT, ultimately failing to enhance their writing and even lowering the quality of their papers!
