- Abstract: Artificial Intelligence has demonstrated its significance in software
engineering through notable improvements in productivity, accuracy,
collaboration, and learning outcomes. This study examines the impact of
generative AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, on the software development
experiences of undergraduate students. Over a three-month project with seven
students, ChatGPT was used as a support tool. The research focused on assessing
ChatGPT's effectiveness, benefits, limitations, and its influence on learning.
Results showed that ChatGPT significantly addresses skill gaps in software
development education, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. It
also improved participants' fundamental understanding and soft skills. The
study highlights the importance of incorporating AI tools like ChatGPT in
education to bridge skill gaps and increase productivity, but stresses the need
for a balanced approach to technology use. Future research should focus on
optimizing ChatGPT's application in various development contexts to maximize
learning and address specific challenges.
