description This article systematically analyzes the main advantages and limitations of using conversational artificial intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT, as a support tool for essay writing in academic and scientific contexts. Additionally, selected problems in mathematics and science were addressed to evaluate the effectiveness of this platform. To this end, a systematic case study was designed and implemented, through which data generated by the chatbot were collected and analyzed. As part of the study, essays were written on six different topics, with the introductory sections produced using ChatGPT. In parallel, six mathematical problems were solved, covering topics such as integrals, Z-transform, Laplace transform, and ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, the model was prompted to provide the definition and calculation method for the fracture toughness of materials. The data analysis led to the conclusion that ChatGPT is capable of generating grammatically correct and syntactically coherent texts within a short time frame. However, the generated introductions were limited in content, relying mostly on general information and lacking critical argumentation. Regarding the mathematical case study, it was observed that, in its current state, the platform exhibits significant limitations in solving complex equations, highlighting the need for substantial improvements to enhance ChatGPT's performance in mathematical applications.

Asimismo, se abordó la resolución de problemas seleccionados en matemáticas y ciencias, con el objetivo de evaluar la eficacia de esta plataforma. Para ello, se diseñó y ejecutó un estudio de caso con enfoque sistemático, mediante el cual se recopilaron y analizaron datos generados por el chatbot. En el marco de este estudio, se redactaron ensayos sobre seis temáticas distintas, cuyas secciones introductorias fueron elaboradas utilizando ChatGPT. Paralelamente, se resolvieron seis problemas matemáticos que incluían temas como integrales, transformada Z, transformada de Laplace y ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias. Además, se solicitó al modelo la definición y el procedimiento de cálculo de la tenacidad a la fractura de materiales. El análisis de los datos permitió concluir que ChatGPT es capaz de generar textos con una estructura gramaticalmente correcta y con coherencia sintáctica en un corto período de tiempo. Sin embargo, las introducciones generadas mostraron un contenido limitado, predominantemente basado en información general, sin alcanzar niveles de argumentación crítica. En cuanto a la resolución de problemas matemáticos, se observó que, en su estado actual, la plataforma presenta limitaciones significativas para abordar problemas complejos, lo cual evidencia la necesidad de mejoras sustanciales en su rendimiento para aplicaciones en el ámbito matemático.Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo2025-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/109110.18779/ingenio.v8i2.1091InGenio Journal; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2025); 82-92Revista InGenio; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2025); 82-922697-364210.18779/ingenio.v8i2reponame:Revista InGenioinstname:Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedoinstacron:UTEQspahttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/1091/1072https://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/1091/1090https://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/1091/1092Copyright (c) 2025 Wilian J.
