Investigating The Dynamic Interaction Between Human Language and Artificial Intelligence Tools: AI Writing Assistants as a Case Study

Abstract

The dynamic interaction between human language and artificial intelligence tools underscores the evolving landscape of communication and technology, as it affects healthcare, trade, economy, and education in particular. Thus, this study is undertaken to learn about these tools, their interaction with human language and how they affect EFL student‟ performance (Writing Skill). To conduct this investigation, a sample of both license and master students in the English language department at Ibn Khaldoun University of Tiaret is randomly selected. The investigation was carried out based on the relevant literature and data obtained through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings revealed that students exhibit a mix of optimism and apprehension about AI writing assistants. While they recognize the tools' potential for improving writing efficiency and quality and their linguistic performance in general, Teachers similarly acknowledge the advantages but stress the importance of responsible use and the development of critical thinking skills.
