Abstract

New technologies have been appearing since the borderless era. Research related to utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) such as Chat GPT, Quillbolt, Otter AI, Hemingway, Grammarly, etc in writing English is limited. This study aimed to overview the EFL researcher’s perspectives related to utilizing artificial intelligence in writing English. This qualitative case study was held at two of the research Madrasahs in Malang. The data are collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from six EFL researchers concerned with technology-enhanced language learning (TELL). After its analysis, the data was released by several themes which are stated as follows (1) the researcher’s perspectives on artificial intelligence in writing English, (2) paper credibility, and (3) challenges and alternatives. Additionally, a good impact of utilizing artificial intelligence in writing English is a museum of great research novelties.
