Abstract

Purpose: This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the adoption of ChatGPT in academia, primarily focusing on the dark side of this emerging technology. This confession on ChatGPT relates to the four major stakeholders in academia: learners, teachers, researchers, and libraries. Methodology: A narrative review was conducted based on extant literature on ChatGPT to provide a comprehensive overview of the negativities carried by the tool to academia. Findings: Academia is one of the severely affected fields by ChatGPT. The paper reveals that all the critical stakeholders of academia, including students, teachers, researchers, and library staff, have been challenged by this emerging application. These roles are now topsy-turvy with the implementation of ChatGPT. Though there are various rumblings, the authors were able to unveil critical drawbacks of the technology in terms of high-tech plagiarism, tarnishing skills, hallucination, security and privacy issues, supplanting the jobs, promoting unfair teaching, the difficulty of using the tool, lack of accountability and lack of accuracy, and integrity of writing. Practical Implications: The adoption of ChatGPT is inevitable in academia. Therefore, by identifying the consequences of ChatGPT, the learners, teachers, researchers, and libraries can align their roles to mitigate the adverse impacts on academia. Although academia is in a hurry to adopt the changes the ChatGPT brings, our insights provide some avenues to re-think.
