The creation of chatbots, such as Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), is a result of recent developments in natural language processing (NLP). Even though Chat GPT has demonstrated enormous promise in a number of areas, including scientific research, this impact is still developing. This paper attempts to investigate the possibilities, threats, limits, and ethical issues surrounding Chat GPT in scientific research. The assessment of the literature on Chat GPT and scientific research is followed by the presentation of case examples that demonstrate the potential advantages and difficulties of Chat GPT use in scientific research. Finally, we conclude by pointing about the ethical issues that need to be tackled before Chat GPT can be completely utilized in scientific research.
