The quick rise in the use of artificial intelligence chatbots, especially ChatGPT, among college students shows big changes in how teaching and learning happen. This research looks at how 974 college students use these chatbots in school. The results show that many students use chatbots with 61.4% saying they use them ChatGPT. There are differences in how often boys and girls use these tools. The main reasons students use them are to understand topics save time and do better in school. Even though students think these tools help with managing study time and getting information they also worry about becoming too dependent and losing their writing and thinking skills. When it comes to how boys and girls use chatbots there are ways. Boys usually make moderate changes while girls like to create new and personal answers from the text they give. The common problems are when the responses are not complete, not relevant or not correct. These results show that there is a need for education programs that use chatbots based on language models, in schools in a way.
