This posting describes how we automated the Zotero citation process in Word documents produced from LLM-generated Markdown. In passing, footnotes were automated also.
And two more steps, via footnotes to Zotero
Towards the one-click thesis: a report on the Strait of Hormuz
This 62-page document with 160 references discusses the geopolitical tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, including Iran's closure impacting global energy flows. It analyzes military and diplomatic strategies for reopening the Strait, assesses coalition capabilities, and outlines challenges and potential solutions. The report is informed by multi-lingual sources, integrating diverse regional perspectives. Unusally it was generated by a team of AIs, with minimal direction from, a human. It is the first thesis-length demonstrator in a series of studies on the actual power of LLMs to write well-researched well-argued documents.

The discussion emphasizes the rising use of AI tools like ChatGPT among students to complete assignments, prompting universities to update academic integrity guidelines, albeit slowly. The concept of "tring" is introduced, highlighting how AI can reduce assignment effort significantly. Detection methods are limited, and reassessing assignment processes is crucial to prevent issues with academic standards.
