Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology powers ChatGPT, a tool for natural language processing. On the one hand, this kind of more intelligent and cutting-edge technology development has promoted the continuous change of the industrial structure of journalism; on the other hand, it has also caused a large shock to journalists. How journalists use ChatGPT correctly is the research topic of this paper. This paper uses the literature research method and the case study method to focus on the relevant concepts and connotations of ChatGPT, conduct specific research on the application of ChatGPT in journalism, and further analyse the double-sided impact of ChatGPT on journalism. Finally, the paper discusses the coping strategies of journalists in the context of the application of ChatGPT technology at two different levels. In the short term, journalists should learn to master the new artificial intelligence technology of ChatGPT. In the long term, the development prospects for journalists are accompanied by threats. Human beings need to conform to the trend of the times and improve their news capabilities and levels.
