I made my thesis with bullshit and hopes before AI was a thing. Can't modern kids do the same?

My master's was fueled by Starbucks, and my Ph.D. is fueled by spite. Don't get me wrong; I am not against using LLMs for help, especially for ESLs. It's a fantastic tool for developing your thoughts when used ethically. I've put placeholders with GPT for framing in my drafts which eventually become something completely different by the end product. This is an issue with peer review and publishing monopolies, aka late-stage capitalism. This draft was clearly not peer-reviewed and is a likely consequence of publish or perish.
