Abstract

THE EMERGENCE OF ChatGPT marked a transformative milestone for artificial intelligence (AI), showcasing the remarkable potential of large language models (LLMs) to generate human-like text. This wave of innovation has revolutionized how we interact with technology, seamlessly integrating LLMs into everyday tasks such as vacation planning, email drafting, and content creation. While English-speaking users have significantly benefited from these advancements, the Arabic world faces distinct challenges in developing.
