In the previous generation, PhD scholars were manual laborers of knowledge. They spent years leafing through hard copies of journals, hand-writing references, and physically hunting for data. Today, every phase from literature reviews and gap analysis to implementation, validation, and writing has been accelerated / automated by AI.
The fundamental truth remains unchanged: Tools do not conduct research; researchers do.
AI can generate code, summarize papers, and produce complex tables, but it cannot breathe life into your thesis. Research is your "baby." Just as you wouldn't ask a stranger to narrate your life story, you cannot ask a machine to narrate your research. You must own the narrative.
It is perfectly acceptable to use tools for understanding, evaluating, or validating your work. It is simple and straightforward: if you use a tool to generate a graph or a diagram, acknowledge it properly and move on. There is no ambiguity there. But the "copy-paste" culture must stop.
Going through generated results is a starting point, not the finish line. You must scrutinize the tables, verify the figures, and then most importantly make them your own. Nowhere is it written that automation was intended for mindless replication.
AI can give you the bricks, but you must be the architect who builds the house. Narrate your own story. Own your baby.
