As familiarity with the tool increased, however, some participants progressed toward a state of conditional alignment, reframing ChatGPT not as an epistemic threat but as a form of scaffolding that allowed their ideas to be communicated more effectively.
As people got to use ChatGPT they began to see it as something that helped understand things more clearly instead of something that undermined their knowledge.
These concerns are particularly salient in a globalized academic landscape where the dominance of English often places non-native speakers at a distinct disadvantage (Jain et al., 2022).Given these potential dynamics, this study adopts an interpretivist perspective to examine how non-native English researchers construct and negotiate their identities in the context of ChatGPT-assisted research writing.
the study talks about how non -native English researchers use ChatGPT to help their research and acknowledges the challenge they deal with in a English dominated space.
