It depends on how you use it, I reckon that. Of course, every coin has two sides. For me, I never try to use Chat GPT in a lesson because I do not trust everything that it generates for me as sometimes it can be misleading and biased.
Being a liberal ESL/ EFL teacher myself, I embrace many new technologies and new ideas. However, It does not mean that I will jump on a bandwagon.
So the conclusion is that I never use it in any lesson.
In short, ChatGPT can be a friend and a valuable tool for language learners in ESP and EFL contexts. It offers language practice, immediate feedback, vocabulary expansion, and cultural insights. However, learners should use it critically and supplement it with other resources to maximize its benefits and overcome its limitations.
