Abstract: Guided by the scholarly understanding of generative artificial intelligence, this study explores technical writing students' engagement with ChatGPT during their writing process. This study is informed by the classical five canons of rhetoric, along with the contemporary reinterpretations of the canons. Employing a qualitative analysis of interviews, this study argues that the students' engagement with ChatGPT allows for reframing and expanding the notions of the writing process and rhetorical canons in the previous literature.
