Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, particularly in education. Its rapid expansion is affecting all aspects of our lives and will leave its marks on our future. When it comes to AI in education, many educators fear its effects on students while others see a lot of potential (Sumakul et. al., 2022) and ways to improve teaching and learning by turning classes into interactive ones (Lee & Perret, 2022; Mollick & Mollick, 2023). One way to explore the effects of AI, particularly ChatGPT 4o, on teaching and learning is to test the effects of ChatGPT’s developed activities on students’ learning. Thus, this study investigates how ChatGPT could improve the process of teaching and learning in three humanities classes at a local Lebanese university because the results would entail significant implications for teachers and teaching methods. To address the issue, the following question is asked: How can ChatGPT-generated activities be used to create an interactive learning and teaching class? The data consists of interviews and surveys with the participants of the three humanities classes, 75 learners, and an observation checklist filled by the researcher and the researcher’s reflection. The collected data revealed that the activities improved the teaching and learning and the students had positive attitudes towards these activities. The author, therefore, recommends using ChatGPT 4o generated activities in teaching and learning.
