Potencialidades e limitações do Chatgpt para revisão de resumos acadêmicos

Abstract

With the advancement of technologies and, substantially, the emergence of new artificial intelligences (AI), it has become pertinent to analyze the use of AI in education, considering its potential to automate teaching processes. However, it is fundamental to analyze this use in a critical, ethical, and responsible manner. Thus, this research is justified by expanding discussions on the potential and limitations of ChatGPT in the review of academic abstracts, contributing to textual qualification, the ethical and responsible use of AI, academic training in a digital context, and the promotion of innovative pedagogical practices. The research problem of this study is directed at verifying the contributions and limitations that can be observed in academic abstract review activities carried out via ChatGPT. From this perspective, the objective of this study is to analyze the potential and limitations of ChatGPT in the academic abstract review process, with regard to orthographic, grammatical, textual, and discursive dimensions. The methodology adopted was bibliographic and documentary in nature. In terms of bibliographic research, the study limits the discussion to the use of ChatGPT in education, studies on the academic abstract genre, the text revision process, and the use of ChatGPT in this activity. Furthermore, fundamental aspects such as the creation and appropriate use of prompts are addressed. Regarding documentary research, an analysis of an academic abstract produced by an undergraduate student, available in freely accessible conference proceedings, was carried out. The analysis of the results of the corrections made by ChatGPT was based on authors such as Coelho and Antunes (2010), Ribeiro and Romano (2024), Oliveira (2024), Pereira and Barros (2023), Melo et al. (2025), as well as the proposal of the web platform Leia (2025). As a result, it became evident that, although ChatGPT offers relevant contributions to the review of academic abstracts, the guidance of an experienced reviewer is necessary, including for the formulation of new prompts, so that the tool adequately meets the demands of the genre and contributes to the quality of the texts and the fulfillment of academic requirements, without, however, replacing human capacity.
