Abstract

A significant cultural shift has been spurred by the emergence of Chat Generative Pre-
trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) language model,
in the quickly changing world of technology and communication. The diverse effects of
Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) on language use, social issues,
information transmission, and ethical considerations are explored in this research. We
examined the elements that contributed to its widespread adoption, such as accessibility,
usability, and versatility, drawing on its evolution and capabilities. The impact of Chat
Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) on language and society can be seen in
the formation of new linguistic fads, fashions, and slang that are influenced by
communication with the Artificial Intelligence (AI). Language and cross-cultural
communication barriers have also changed as a result of this, creating both opportunities
and challenges. We identify potential changes in social dynamics and the blending of
human and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communication by examining the consequences on
human-to-human interactions. ChatGPT can promote connectedness, yet its effect on
social isolation raises certain concerns. ChatGPT is influencing how individuals receive
and exchange information in the ever-changing information landscape, with
consequences for news, education, and entertainment. However, this change raises
questions regarding inaccurate information, prejudice, and moral issues related to
content produced by AI. The integration of ChatGPT with cultural and social contexts
puts ethical and moral issues front and center. The use of AI responsibly is required since
misuse, privacy concerns, and authenticity arguments are major issues. Guidelines for
ChatGPT's responsible integration across settings become more important as the
technology's function develops. ChatGPT has sparked a cultural change that is
profoundly influencing how the people communicate, share information, and interact
with one another. To successfully navigate this environment, one must have a thorough
grasp and understanding of its ramifications, be proactive with ethical questions, and be
dedicated to using AI's potential to benefit society and also culture. This study makes
suggestions for future research and policy development.
