Although challenges and drawbacks will be examined and plagiarism issues will be discussed, especially in the writing classroom, ChatGPT will be shown to be a useful tool that students can use to help them develop ideas and complete writing assignments. From developing thoughtful research questions to organizing their ideas to providing a greater understanding of the opposition, ChatGPT can be useful tool for students as they develop and write research-based papers, especially persuasive ones. Examples of how it can be used will be shared and discussed.
