ChatGPT Applications and Issues: Perspectives from Manufacturing and Academic Practitioners

Abstract

This paper investigates the potential applications, benefits, and challenges of utilizing ChatGPT in academic research and the manufacturing sector. Through discussions with academic researchers and industry professionals, the study gathers insights into how ChatGPT is perceived in terms of its utility and ethical implications. Academic participants generally viewed ChatGPT positively, recognizing its ability to assist with tasks such as text processing, translation, and literature review. However, concerns were raised about its limitations in more complex areas of research that demand critical thinking and original insights. Issues such as plagiarism, data leakage, weakening of users' abilities and authorship attribution were also highlighted. In the manufacturing sector, professionals appreciated ChatGPT's efficiency in handling text-based tasks, noting that it could significantly reduce time and cost. However, the provision of incorrect information and the potential for patent infringement were identified as major concerns. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of managing these risks, proposing clearer guidelines for the use of ChatGPT in both academic and industrial environments. Ultimately, while ChatGPT can offers substantial benefits, careful regulation and security protocols are essential to ensure its responsible use in these sectors.
