Abstract
This study focuses on the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the writing process from its positive effects and limitations to the outlook. A mixed-methods research design was used with focused on 197 English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and 274 learners from the countries of Iran and Turkey. The quantitative statistics received from the administration of structured questionnaires indicate that all the study respondents had a similar belief about the role of AI tools in improving the quality and speed of writing tasks. Moreover, focus group discussions show that respondents see its ability to eliminate the language barrier, provide tailored instruction on writing, and handle nuisances with focus on students, which is appealing. There is, however, a more complex view that emerges and stresses the importance of recognizing the advantages of these technologies against their shortfalls, which have been documented in the corpus. In an interesting twist, postgraduate students appear to be more value oriented than classification intending angels since they aim for quality content, while undergraduate students appear to prefer the speed at which AI services may offer them assistance. These findings add another dimension exploring the ongoing transformations that writing embraces in this age of advanced technology as it brings interactivity among educators, students, and AI at all times in readiness for different tasks. The present study is hence beneficial to both teachers and learners because it provides insights on how AI can be used in writing improvement and its limitations.
