The emergence of several free artificial intelligences capable of helping with writing tools without hiring research assistants has the potential to significantly benefit academics in meeting the performance requirements set by their institutions. Applications for writing such as Quillbot, Grammarly, and ChatGPT are among the current ones that help to improve one’s language proficiency. Since these writing assistance and real-time grammar suggestions are still considered new and emerging, there is a need to outline a conceptual framework for a prospective study that draws upon relevant literature focused on exploring the potential of ChatGPT, a renowned artificial intelligence system. Concerns remain as to whether academicians have conducted thorough analyses of the effects of utilising ChatGPT in the production of research articles. Thus, this article presents an overview of the need to utilise ChatGPT and assesses its influence on producing quality scholarly writings by summarising recent journal papers, with a specific emphasis on ChatGPT academics, artificial intelligence, technology, ChatGPT, scholarly articles that has been refined to include a limited relevant article. The summary indicates that the application of ChatGPT reduces the language barrier or knowledge gaps among academicians. However, the excessive usage and dependence of the tool hamper the learning progress. This will lead to the incompetence of individuals in situations where technological glitches, system errors, or outdated information may occur. Future research recommends further extensive research on ChatGPT to be conducted on its actual utilisation within the academic community for a more thorough examination.
