Since the origin of AI, the most talked about application of AI is how can Computers understand and process information like humans. Generative AI is one such Application of AI, which involves generating novel content in the form of text, audio, Images or videos, learning from extensive data fed to the models. One such application That uses the generative AI concept by using large language models that have come to Existence in recent days is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. ChatGPT is trained on massive amounts of textual data, which allows the model employed to learn from the data and perform various kinds of text generation tasks that generate text which appear to be human written based on the prompt provided by users; These text generation tasks typically are, question answer, descriptive, text completion. Since its release in November 2022, it has created much buzz in the software industry. Learned experts in the industry have expressed diverse opinions on its impact on the education sector and the integrity of the Data it generates. In this project, I will research the effectiveness of the tool for Computing Education. I would be focusing on how it can be used to support the user, typically A student/professor. To validate this study, I will be surveying some of the questions in one of the undergraduate courses, CSC242 (Computer Organization), and a graduate course MIS555 (Database Management Systems) at the university, to understand how far ChatGPT can be used as a supporting tool for the students in the context of Computing Education. Keywords: Generative AI, ChatGPT, Large Language Models
