Odd news item came up about a week ago....involving the Cambridge University folks and Jason Arday (now deceased).
The word 'autoethnographies' got used. I had to look it up.
Definition....you, the writer, ask a number of questions....which YOU yourself answer.....based off your life, experiences, woes, sorrows, etc. Yeah, it's a self-interview.
So in writing his thesis paper.....he uses his own information, his own quotes, and submits it as a paper.
Accepting this? Yeah, Cambridge fully accepted the paper
I'm not a education-wiz, but it's a bit unusual to accept the idea that PhD results out of this 'gimmick'.

I used AI to write a thesis on the effects of AI used to cheat. It was quite enlightening. It's called: The Effects of Using AI to Cheat: Impacts on Learning, Integrity, Assessment, and Society
