问 HN:用 AI 工具做博士论文文献综述算作弊吗?

5作者: latand65 个月前
我是一名结构工程专业的博士生。我的论文课题是关于使用 LLM 代理在公司常用的乌克兰软件上自动化有限元分析(FEA)计算。我现在正在撰写文献综述,并且我用 vibecode 搭建了一个个人本地仪表盘,帮助我管理文献综述过程。 我使用 LLM 代理来填充 LaTeX 模板(以实现格式自动化,您也可以使用 IDE 来查看差异),该模板位于 GitHub 仓库中。然后,我运行 ChatGPT Pro 来收集所有与我的主题相关的论文(以及如何相关)。然后,我收集在线可获取的论文,即 PDF 可用的论文。我有一个特殊的文件夹结构,其中包含纯文本文件,如 Markdown 和 JSON。 仪表盘的理念如下:我通过网络聊天运行 Codex 来识别相关引文——与我的论文主题相关——以及它们如何相关,它将它们组合成与每个引文相关联的多个主张,并附带链接。然后,我手动审查每个引文和每个主张,并勾选复选框。还有一个按钮可以运行验证脚本,该脚本会验证确切的引文确实存在于 PDF 中。通过这种方式,我可以收集真实的证据,并在阅读这些内容时获得新的见解。 我记得在我于英国攻读硕士学位时,我手动完成了所有这些。那是一段非常糟糕且乏味的经历,部分原因是我患有 ADHD。 所以我的问题是,这是否不诚实? 因为我可以为综述中的每个主张辩护,因为我构建了验证流程并手动审查了每一个。可以说,我对文献的理解比我自己手动阅读并高亮所有内容要好。但我知道许多大学会将任何 AI 生成的文本视为学术不端行为。 我真的不太明白这种立场背后的原则。因为如果你外包校对任务,没有人会关心。当你使用 Grammarly 时,也是一样。但是如果我使用 LLM 从经过验证的、结构化的、人工审查的证据中创建文本——这可能被认为是不诚实的。

I&#x27;m a PhD student in structural engineering. My dissertation topic is about using LLM agents in automating FEA calculations on common Ukrainian software that companies use. I&#x27;m writing my literature review now and I&#x27;ve vibecoded a personal local dashboard that helps me manage the literature review process.<p>I use LLM agents to fill up the LaTeX template (to automate formatting, also you can use IDE to view diffs) in github repo. Then I run ChatGPT Pro to collect all relevant papers (and how) to my topic. Then I collect the ones available online, where the PDFs are available. I have a special structure of folders with plain files like markdown and JSON.<p>The idea of the dashboard is the following: I run the Codex through a web chat to identify the relevant quotes — relevant for my dissertation topic — and how they are relevant, it combines them into a number of claims connected with each quote with a link. And then I review each quote and each claim manually and tick the boxes. There is also a button that runs the verification script, that validates the exact quote IS really in the PDF. This way I can collect real evidence and collect new insights when reading these.<p>I remember doing this all manually when I was doing my master&#x27;s degree in the UK. That was a very terrible and tedious experience partially because I&#x27;ve ADHD<p>So my question is, is it dishonest?<p>Because I can defend every claim in the review because I built the verification pipeline and reviewed manually each one. I arguably understand the literature better than if I had read it myself manually and highlighted all. But I know that many universities would consider any AI-generated text as academic misconduct.<p>I really don&#x27;t quite understand the principle behind this position. Because if you outsource the task of proofreading, nobody would care. When you use Grammarly, the same thing. But if I use an LLM to create text from verified, structured, human-reviewed evidence — it might be considered dishonest.
