The scrutinized gathered data was subject to thematic analysis anchored by Braun and Clarke (2006), revealing both beneficial and counterproductive outcomes from using ChatGPT on students' writing competence. This concludes that the impact of ChatGPT on students’ writing was multifaceted highlighting the significance of adopting a well-rounded approach to maximize benefits and minimize potential drawbacks.
