      ab: Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a natural language based artificial intelligence (AI), has been either welcomed or maligned by academia. This project aimed to: (a) provide a structured opportunity for students to use ChatGPT and critique its responses and (b) investigate student perceptions before and after using ChatGPT for a class assignment. Forty graduate occupational therapy students used ChatGPT to complete two written assignments. Pre- and post-ChatGPT assignment surveys completed by students were analyzed. After using ChatGPT to complete course assignments, students were significantly more likely to agree that: (a) ChatGPT is helpful for completing assignments, (b) ChatGPT provides accurate answers, and (c) ChatGPT provides unbiased answers. Several themes emerged from the qualitative data: (a) critiques of ChatGPT, (b) optimal use of ChatGPT, and (c) emotional responses to ChatGPT. Academic assignments requiring the use of AI may allow students to appraise critically and responsibly use these tools for their learning.
