How Artificial Intelligence can change the way to write academic thesis under master and Pd.D. levels are affecting the originality and knowledge of future academics.
Context generation and summarization through LLMs have made it easier to write thesis and reports but somewhere between this AI development, originality is lost.
AI can enhance thesis writing by providing data analysis, improving language quality, and aiding in literature reviews. However, reliance on AI may affect originality and critical thinking, challenging future academics to balance AI tools with their intellectual contributions.
I guess different universities have different policies, protocols and rules in what they consider acceptable. Some would say "you are not allowed any use of AI at all" and some would say "only for literature review" or something like that.
At the moment, in the context of the rapid technological progress in the field of artificial intelligence technology, this is not an easy question to answer. On the one hand, applications equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology can prove helpful, for example, in the matter of efficient, multi-criteria search of publications and source materials on the Internet, in the preparation of summaries of voluminous materials and publications, and so on. However, the intelligent chatbots currently available on the Internet are still highly imperfect. They generate many different kinds of errors in the created studies, generate so-called hallucinations, can create fictitious source publications and do not show all sources for the created studies, texts, etc. On the other hand, if students are largely assisted in thesis writing by intelligent chatbots popular on the Internet, then students' thesis writing will lose its meaning and purpose. Abe to limit the scale of this unethical practice, anti-plagiarism information systems are already being equipped with modules for verifying theses as to whether they were written, created, developed with the help of applications equipped with generative artificial intelligence technology, including whether intelligent chatbots available on the Internet were used.
I am conducting research on this issue.
