Isn't the point of doing the master's thesis that you do the math and research, so that you learn and understand the math and research?
I bet they were talking about how people didn't do long division when the calculator first came out too. Is using matlab and excel ok but AI not? Where do we draw the line with tools?
OP said they "generated entire chapters"
Apparently not. This is the most perfect example I've seen of "I can recite it, but I don't understand it so I don't know if it's really right or not" that I've seen in a while.
I do understand it. I just don't have the overview of all the algorithms that LLMs have.
