In the current AI-era, ChatGPT emerges as a solution for obtaining straightforward and easily comprehensible responses, and that has the potential to impact students' lives, for beneficial or detrimental outcomes. The utilisation of ChatGPT for tasks such as translation, homework assistance, explanation and exam preparation in foreign language lectures at the undergraduate level may appear to be a beneficial strategy for language learners. However, relying exclusively on ChatGPT or other AI tools for task completion can potentially impact not only students' academic achievement and language competencies, but also lecturers' performance. Drawing on the human learning theory of cognitivism and cognitive linguistics, this article presents the experiences of foreign language lecturers, especially in the field of teaching and examining German and English as foreign languages (GFL/EFL) at three Jordanian universities during the autumn semester of 2025/26. The article focuses on the negative impact of using ChatGPT alongside foreign language lectures in terms of its effect on language acquisition, the learning process, the trust between student and lecturer, as well as the motivation and performance of the lecturer. Based on interviews with foreign language lecturers, combined with a parallel student questionnaire, this article highlights the impact of relying on ChatGPT on both foreign language lecturers and students, from passively answering without understanding to losing motivation to teach. This article points out the extent to which foreign language students trust ChatGPT over the foreign language lecturers and focuses on the challenges the lecturer face and how they deal with it or solve it.
