ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POWERED TOOLS IN ENGLISH ACADEMIC WRITING: STUDENT PERCEPTIONS
Keywords:
AI-Powered Tools, Scientific Writing, Students's PerceptionAbstract
One significant development of technology over the past few years is Artificial Intelligence (AI), which aims to facilitate and help people, especially students in the digital era. The main purpose of this study is to explore students' perceptions in Sumedang Regency regarding AI-powered tools in writing scientific papers in English and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using these AI-powered tools. This research uses phenomenological research with data collection instruments through questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The results of the study showed that the majority of Sumedang Regency students had positive perceptions of the use of AI-powered tools. Several advantages of AI-powered tools from the study results are helping to spark ideas, making the writing process effective, helping with grammar, vocabulary, and translation, and making it easier to find references. However, there are several disadvantages of AI-powered tools revealed from this study, including inaccurate information, plagiarism, a sense of dependency, and decreased writing skills. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that although AI-powered tools provide many positive benefits in academic writing, excessive use can also cause negative impacts that cannot be underestimated, so limitations are needed to avoid negative impacts that may arise.
