Abstract

This study employed a questionnaire survey using the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) on a sample of 240 Chinese university students. The results obtained were then compared with 240 questionnaire results created by ChatGPT in order to investigate variations in critical thinking skills across different dimensions. The study uncovered that, although ChatGPT had exceptional performance in inference and deductive reasoning, it fell behind university students in the areas of evaluation and inductive reasoning. Meanwhile, with respect to analysis, the capabilities of both college students and ChatGPT were not significantly different. These findings provide essential insights for the advancement of artificial intelligence and human progress.
