Abstract

Generative AI, including models like GPT-4, has revolutionized academic writing by providing support in language, structure, and
stylistic elements. This paper discusses the theoretical implications of using generative AI for academic English writing, focusing on its influence on linguistic accuracy, text organization, and academic tone. It examines both the advantages and potential pitfalls, including overreliance and issues with originality. By analyzing the contributions of AI to language learning and academic proficiency, this paper aims to
provide insights into the evolving role of AI in higher education and scholarly communication.
