The Effect of Using (AI) ChatGPT Version 4.0 on Reducing the Curiosity of Junior High School Students in Bangkalan

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, specifically ChatGPT, on the curiosity of junior high school students in Bangkalan Regency. The method used was a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, where data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to students. The results showed that although the majority of students had a good understanding of the benefits of AI technology, they tended to rely on instant answers provided by ChatGPT, resulting in decreased motivation to seek information independently. The average score of students' curiosity was recorded at 80, 4%, indicating a level that is still classified as "Not Good". This finding confirms the need for innovative learning strategies to utilize AI technology without reducing students' interest in exploration. This research contributes significantly to the understanding of the impact of AI technology in education and is relevant in the global context of the challenges of technology dependency among the younger generation. The results and recommendations of this study are expected to assist educators and policy makers in optimizing the use of AI in the learning process.
