CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Overview of Chat GPT

2.1.1 Definition of Chat GPT

According to Haleem, Javaid, and Singh (2022), ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained

transformer that is currently garnering a lot of attention The term "Generative," or "G," in

the acronym GPT refers to the tool's text-producing ability Pre-training, or "P," is the

process of using a model from one machine learning job to train another, in a manner

similar to how people use their past knowledge to pick up new skills There is a lot of text

available on ChatGPT for pre-training The "Transformer" neural network (represented by

the letter 𝑇) looks at the overall relationship between each component of the data series It

is a free chatbot that can answer almost any query It was developed by OpenAI and

released for public testing As of right now, it's the best AI chatbot ever Computer code,

college-level essays, poetry, and even somewhat acceptable jokes have all been produced

by the chatbot Furthermore, Chat GPT is a formidable tool that Velibor (2023) notes has

the ability to revolutionize how we engage with technology by facilitating more intuitive

and natural conversation between people and machines It is now being investigated for

use in education as a means of improving student learning and engagement Examples of

its current uses include virtual assistants, language translation software, and chatbots for

customer service Moreover, Deng and Lin (2022) state that ChatGPT is a large language

model (LLM) that can generate appropriate responses to context and carry on

natural-sounding conversations

2.1.2 Origin of Chat GPT

Calvin (2023) said that Wojciech Zaremba, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, and John

Schulman co-founded OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT Subsequently, Sam

Altman became the CEO For almost ten years, OpenAI has been developing the GPT

(Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family of big language models Just a few months

after ChatGPT made its debut, the most recent model, GPT-4, was introduced

Furthermore, Iryna Tetyana (2023) assumes that the service was introduced in November

2022; yet, its fundamental algorithm, GPT-3, was developed in 2020 As of this writing,

the most recent version is GPT-4, which was made available in March 2023

2.1.3 Features of Chat GPT

In the analysis of Haleem, Javaid, and Singh (2022) ChatGPT includes features like

remembering aspects, supportive communication, follow-up corrections, etc Besides these

diverse features and capacities, a number of drawbacks have been noted, including the

potential for biased content to appear and occasionally inaccurate information to be

generated Moreover, a number of other advantages and uses for chatGPT are further

illustrated and explained It can carry out simple tasks and generate documents that seem

like human speech in casual settings The goal of ChatGPT is to develop a cooperative AI

system that can generate informative, interesting, and contextually appropriate discourse

In addition, Yu (2023) demonstrates that the primary characteristic of Chat GPT and other

like products is the existence of defined guidelines for content creation These products are

deeply ingrained in people's daily lives and have the capacity to form tight personal

connections with each user, which has a dramatic impact on people's behavior patterns and

encourages ongoing innovation in learning processes

2.1.4 Roles of Chat GPT in education in the modern era

Velibor (2023) claims that Chat GPT may be used to build chatbots and online tutoring

systems that assist students in honing their language skills These chatbots may mimic

in-person interactions and give students immediate feedback on their vocabulary, grammar,

and voice Additionally, by evaluating a student's writing style, making suggestions for

enhancements, and offering feedback on grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes, the

GPT can be used to assist students in developing their writing abilities Additionally, essays

and other written assignments can be automatically graded by GPT, which can save

teachers a ton of time and provide students with quick feedback on their work Moreover,

students can have individualized learning experiences made possible by GPT GPT can

provide individualized recommendations for learning materials, including articles, videos,

and textbooks, based on an analysis of a student's learning styles and interests In a similar

vein, Iryna Tetyana (2023) claims that ChatGPT offers students on-demand support and

direction on a variety of subjects Due to its round-the-clock accessibility, students may

get help whenever they need it, which lessens their reliance on more conventional resources

like in-person instructors and textbooks It might offer other viewpoints and resources than

those found in textbooks or conventional educational environments Students can

participate in individualized learning experiences catered to their unique needs and

interests by interacting with ChatGPT Based on the learning styles of the students,

ChatGPT can modify its responses and resources to help them understand subjects more

fully

2.2 English Translation Proficiency

2.2.1 Definitions of translation

There are many definitions of translation Catford ideas are best expressed in his work A

Linguistic Theory of Translation In the beginning of the book, he proposes: “Translation

is an operation performed on languages: a process of substituting a text in one language for

a text in another Clearly, then, any theory of translation must draw upon a theory of

language - a general linguistic theory.” (Catford, 1965, p.1) Besides Nida’s views of

translation are mainly embodied in Toward a Science of Translating and The Theory and

Practice of Translation, in the former work, he regards translation as a scientific subject

and points out that “the transference of a message from one language to another is a valid

subject for scientific description” (Nida, 1964, p.3) In addition, Newmark.P (1988) also

wrote that most translation means transferring content from one language to another while

remaining true to the author's intention

2.2.2 Positive impact of ChatGPT on translation learning of students majoring in

English Language

Xiao & Zhi (2023 ) point out GPT chat can enhance students' learning ability by providing

students with necessary information knowledge Additionally, according to Bonner, Lege,

& Frazier (2023) ChatGPT can provide useful answers to students giving them the ability

to dig deeper into their knowledge and improve their understanding In this sense, as

asserted by First(2023) GPT chat promotes student autonomy in learning When accessing

GPT chat, students can freely ask what they want without interference, enhancing students'

sense of self-acquiring knowledge Similarly, Chinonso, Theresa, & Aduke (2023) show

that GPT Chat helps students’ study and research more effectively because it quickly

responds to questions asked and fosters an attractive and adaptive learning environment

This view is supported by Grassini (2023) who writes that Chat GPT is an AI based tool

that follows the advancement of technology Therefore, it cultivates an interesting and

flexible learning atmosphere Baskara & Mukarto(2023) say that Chat GPT enhances

students’ reading comprehension Chat GPT exposes students to authentic texts It provides

potential materials to improve students’ reading comprehension It promotes the

enhancement of students’ vocabulary and grammar mastery Chat GPT is designed to have

the ability to provide feedback by using human-like language The language covers

correct sentences and sophisticated vocabulary Hence, it helps the students to elevate

their vocabulary and grammar mastery level (Athanassopouls, et., al., 2023) There

are people who agree with them Rueda (2023) chat GPT improves students’ learning

experience and academic achievement One of attractive aspects of Chat GPT is enriching

students’ learning experience and facilitating the improvement of academic achievement

2.2.3 Nagative impact of chatGPT on translation learning of students majoring in

English Language

Although has many positive effects, Chat GPT still carries negative effects According to

Zhu,I.,C.,et., al (2023) GPT chats can provide incorrect information because their data

only stops at a specific time period, so it is difficult to avoid errors Furthermore, it may

diminish students' creativity as ChatGPT offers instantaneous feedback, which discourages

them from utilizing their full creative potential (Shidiq, 2023) Walter, Cox, & Heyman

(2023) point out that ChatGPT evidently poses challenges to academic integrity, as students

may tend to depend on ChatGPT answers to complete their homework instead of utilizing

it solely as a reference Moreover, it potentially leads to plagiarism The inclination to seek

instant solutions without exerting significant effort may expose students to plagiarism

issues, as it is tempting to copy and paste answers and then paraphrase them (Eke, 2023)

2.3 Impact of integrating Chat GPT into the learning curriculum on the

enhancement of English translation skills

2.3.1 Positive effects

2.3.1.1 Language Learning

Cribben & Zeinali (2023) maintains that ChatGPT holds promise for the development of

chatbots and virtual language tutors aimed at enhancing students' language proficiency

These applications are capable of emulating authentic conversational interactions and

furnishing instantaneous feedback on aspects such as grammar, pronunciation, and lexicon

Similarly, Oranga (2023) suggests that Chat GPT can assist in language learning by

providing grammar corrections, suggesting synonyms, explaining idiomatic

expressions,and engaging in conversations to improve language skills Likewide,

Dilmegani (2024) hold the view that ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for language learning,

improve their language skills Extant research corroborates the efficacy of integrating AI

technologies, including ChatGPT, in language education, with demonstrable benefits on

student motivation, engagement, and academic outcomes (Ouyang et al., 2022; Liang et

al., 2021; Roll & Wylie, 2016) Such AI-driven interventions offer personalized and

adaptive learning modalities, affording learners the convenience of honing language

proficiencies whilst receiving timely and tailored feedback (Kuleto et al., 2021)

2.3.1.2 Instant Feedback

Oanga (2023) point out that the role of ChatGPT in furnishing expeditious feedback on

assignments, quizzes, and inquiries, thereby facilitating learners' comprehension of errors

and expeditious rectification Moreover, ChatGPT serves as a salient instrument for

language acquisition, furnishing translations, grammatical elucidations, lexical drills, and

conversational simulations, thereby fostering students' linguistic proficiency Dilmegani

(2024) have a point is similar to Mr Oanga in respect of, extols the efficacy of artificial

intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in expeditiously processing and generating

information, thereby engendering temporal savings and augmenting efficacy for educators

and learners alike This engenders a salutary milieu wherein students can divert attention

to ancillary tasks, courtesy of the automated provision of immediate feedback and facile

access to information facilitated by ChatGPT

2.3.2 Negative effects

2.3.2.1 Overreliance on Technology

According to Cribben & Zeinali (2023) caution against the potential risk of students overly

depending on ChatGPT and similar AI tools, which could detrimentally impact their critical

thinking abilities and autonomy in learning Overreliance on ChatGPT may result in a

dependency that obstructs the development of independent translation skills, as users may

grow accustomed to relying solely on AI for translation tasks without fully comprehending

the linguistic intricacies involved Furthermore, Oranga (2023) highlights the negative

consequences of excessive AI usage, such as ChatGPT, on human interaction and critical

thinking skills Overdependence on technology for problem-solving may lead to a decline

in human interaction and a diminishing capacity for critical analysis This overreliance on

AI tools like ChatGPT can potentially hinder students' ability to engage in meaningful

interactions and to think critically when faced with complex challenges

2.3.2.2 Limited Context Awareness

Oranga (2023) argues that ChatGPT may occasionally produce responses that lack

contextual appropriateness or coherence due to its limited understanding of the broader

conversation context it is evident that ChatGPT's shortcomings in understanding context

and producing coherent responses can pose significant challenges in translation

tasks.Similarly, Cribben and Zeinali (2023) emphasize that GPT models generate text

based on learned patterns and associations from training data, lacking genuine

comprehension of text context or meaning It is a well-known fact that, translation requires

not only linguistic proficiency but also a deep understanding of the cultural and contextual

nuances inherent in language use When ChatGPT fails to grasp these subtleties, it may

produce translations that are inaccurate, nonsensical, or culturally inappropriate Moreover,

Biswas and Som (2023) observe that ChatGPT encounters difficulties in grasping context,

resulting in misinterpretations and inaccurate responses during social media interactions

On balance, these studies collectively underscore the challenge posed by ChatGPT's

inability to fully comprehend nuanced contextual cues, leading to occasional inaccuracies

and nonsensical responses in text generation tasks
