Reproducing Sections of a Research in the Field of Indo-Iranian Linguistics Using ChatGPT AI Model – an Experiment

In recent years, practical applications of AI models have become globally accessible and increasingly commonplace. These models have begun to be integrated into scientific research, marking the initial stages of their use in this domain. Among such tools, ChatGPT, recongized as an “AI language model”, is particularly intriguing for examining how it handles linguistic problems. This paper seeks to replicate selected parts of a research previously conducted using traditional methods and evaluate the results produced by the model. The research focused on analyzing the vocabulary of Persian and Arabic origin in Hindi songs from Bollywood movies. The goal of this paper is to determine how effectively an AI model can perform specific tasks originally carried out by a human researcher in the original study.
