Introduction

ChatGPT has gained much popularity within the last year, and there is no clear indication of it slowing down. Many people have started incorporating it into their daily lives, especially for simple tasks like writing emails or essays. ChatGPT has opened people’s eyes to the efficiency of AI search engines and the endless opportunities they can create. ChatGPT could have written this introduction, and you would never know (don’t worry, it’s not). Regardless, using ChatGPT and AI search engines will be habitual for most of the U.S. one day, so we should research how we can utilize them to their total capacity. It can especially benefit the education system, where young, malleable minds can adapt more quickly. 

To first understand the possibility of incorporating AI search services in the educational curriculum, we must examine the current opinions and policies on them and the factors that would affect this process. AI tools like ChatGPT positively impact education, especially for autodidactic learners, by enhancing learning experiences and student performance. Also, AI search services would improve students’ critical thinking skills. However, some individuals think that using chatbots to perform simple but necessary tasks will make them less capable of thinking critically. It could be compared to a “use it or lose it” situation. It is like how the calculator revolutionized the teaching of math. You can use the calculator to expand your math capabilities if you learn the fundamental processes, like simple addition or division.
