Abstract
This research aims to explore the role of ChatGPT 3.5 in fostering students' curiosity and supporting creativity in academic writing, particularly in the context of essay composition. The primary focus is to analyze how ChatGPT 3.5 influences various components of curiosity including exploration, openness to experience, investigative interest, joy in learning, and persistence as well as dimensions of creativity, such as originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis of students' written works, and a review of their chat history with ChatGPT 3.5. The participants consisted of six English Education students at IAIN Curup who had used ChatGPT 3.5 as part of their essay writing process. The research reveal that ChatGPT 3.5 contributes significantly to enhancing students' curiosity and creative expression in writing. As a digital assistant, ChatGPT serves as a facilitator by providing fresh ideas, broadening perspectives, offering diverse linguistic expressions, and delivering critical feedback that stimulates deeper thinking. Its use encourages students to be more exploratory, reflective, and innovative in crafting their written work. The research concludes that ChatGPT 3.5 holds great potential as a valuable pedagogical tool in higher education, particularly in supporting the development of academic writing skills that are both creative and driven by intellectual curiosity. Nonetheless, its use must be guided ethically and critically to ensure that it strengthens rather than replaces students' independent thinking.
