Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Academic Writing, English StudentsAbstract
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly AI-powered paraphrase tools like QuillBot, have significantly influenced college writing practices. This study explores the impact of QuillBot on sixth-semester English students' academic writing at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. Through qualitative methodology, involving interviews and document analysis, five students were examined to understand their frequency and methods of QuillBot use, its support in the writing process, effects on writing quality and originality, perceptions regarding its academic application, and confidence in its results. Findings reveal that QuillBot enhances productivity by expediting revisions and improving writing clarity and grammar, while preserving originality. However, students remain cautious about its ethical implications in academic assessments. This study contributes nuanced insights into AI's role in enhancing writing skills and underscores the need for ethical guidelines in its educational use. Future research should examine how QuillBot affects students with different levels of writing ability, ranging from beginner writers to advanced writers, providing insight into the benefits and limitations of this tool in supporting various learning needs.
