67% of postgraduate students reportedly faced major corrections, re-viva, or outright failure, and careless AI use may be one of the biggest reasons.
In this video, I reveal two real case studies showing how AI-generated content can damage a PhD journey. One student’s proposal contained an unsupported definition and multiple questionable references. In another case, a published paper reportedly contained 24 fake references, creating serious consequences for both the student and the professor.
The biggest mistake? Prompting AI, copying everything, and submitting it without checking the original sources.
Before submitting your proposal, thesis, viva slides, or journal paper, always conduct:
âś… Content validation
âś… Citation validation
âś… Reference verification
âś… Problem statement validation
âś… Research gap verification
AI can assist your research, but it must never replace critical thinking, proper reading, and academic verification.
