Abstract

Bu çalışma, üretken yapay zeka teknolojisinin, özellikle ChatGPT’nin, Toplum 5.0 bağlamında toplumsal etkilerini ve kullanıcı algılarını netnografik bir yaklaşımla incelemektedir. Toplum 5.0, teknolojinin insan merkezli bir şekilde toplumun her alanına entegre edilmesini hedefleyen bir vizyon sunar. Bu bağlamda, araştırma Türkiye’nin önde gelen teknoloji forumları olan Technopat ve Donanımhaber’deki tartışmaları analiz ederek, ChatGPT’nin toplumda nasıl algılandığını, kullanıcı deneyimlerini ve bu teknolojinin etik boyutlarını anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Veri toplama süreci, bu platformlardaki kullanıcı tarafından oluşturulan içeriklerin gözlemlenmesini ve ardından netnografik analiz yöntemiyle temel bulguların belirlenmesini içermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, ChatGPT’nin eğitim, profesyonel görevler ve eğlence gibi çeşitli alanlarda yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldığını, bu yönüyle Toplum 5.0’ın teknolojiye dayalı, insan odaklı yaşam hedeflerine katkı sağladığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, kullanıcılar tarafından veri güvenliği, gizlilik ve etikle ilgili önemli endişeler dile getirilmiş, bu da teknolojinin toplumsal etkisinin çift yönlü olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, üretken yapay zeka araçlarının, özellikle ChatGPT’nin, kullanıcı davranışlarını ve toplumsal normları nasıl şekillendirdiğine dair önemli bir anlayış sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu tür teknolojilerin Toplum 5.0 vizyonuna uygun şekilde iş dünyası ve pazarlama disiplinine etik bir şekilde entegre edilmesi konusunda pazarlama uzmanlarına ve akademisyenlere değerli öneriler sağlamaktadır.

A Netnographic Analysis of ChatGPT Usage in Technology Forums in The Context of Society 5.0

Abstract

This study investigates the societal impacts and user perceptions of generative AI technology in the context of Society 5.0, with a specific focus on ChatGPT, using a netnographic approach. Society 5.0 offers a vision that aims to integrate technology into all aspects of society in a human-centric manner. In this context, by analyzing discussions on two prominent Turkish technology forums, Technopat and Donanımhaber, the research aims to understand how ChatGPT is perceived in society, users’ experiences with the tool, and its ethical implications. The data collection involved observing user-generated content on these platforms, followed by a netnographic analysis to identify key insights. The findings indicate that ChatGPT is widely utilized in fields such as education, work, professional tasks, and entertainment, thereby contributing to the technology-driven, human-centric lifestyle goals envisioned by Society 5.0. However, users also expressed notable concerns about issues such as data security, privacy, and ethical considerations, underlining the dual nature of its societal impact. This study contributes to the understanding of how generative AI tools like ChatGPT are shaping user behaviors and societal norms. Moreover, it provides valuable recommendations to marketing practitioners and academics on the ethical integration of such technologies into business practices and the marketing discipline in alignment with the vision of Society 5.0.
