Using AI is absolutely the correct starting point if you have no idea. 30 years ago people went to the library to read a bunch of abstracts to figure out what to write. 15 years ago people did the same but on Google Scholar.
If I ask ChatGPT for a list of relevant research papers about "The Importance of Telecommunications in the shipping/maritime transport" it shows me results from the following journals: Maritime Policy and Management; Journal of Navigation; International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics; Journal of Transport Geography; and Marine Technology Society Journal.
The "plagiarism" issue with a paper like that is failure to correctly cite. There's no original work in there, just a brief overview including citations. That's the expectation and using AI saves an absurd amount of time.

I highly doubt there ever was a time where the main thing in college wasn't to graduate? Unless you study philosophy or brit lit maybe.
