In fact, ChatGPT and other similar AI platforms are being used to save time as it automates key tasks for researchers.\u00a0 However, in the field of academics and research ChatGPT needs to be viewed as a complementary tool and not one replacing human analysis. As it is trained on generic data, early career researchers and scholars must be cautious as responses and analysis generated by AI driven tools like ChatGPT could suffer from contextual

By providing a prompt for research questions to a given topic, ChatGPT can generate several possible responses. Additionally, by feeding the model with relevant information or appropriate prompts that specify certain aspects that you wish to explore, or focusing more on a generated response, you can keep engaging with ChatGPT to narrow down on the research questions.
