If he only used it as a tool, I'd still say it's his work. It should of course be included in the methodology section.

But considering he lost 2 years worth of work, just because his chats got wiped? That's more than just a tool

    "Oops all the research was set on fire" is a tale as old as grad students.

    In the 2000s it was trusting everything in a multi-year study to a single thumb drive. In the 70s it was carrying the only copy of everything in a single briefcase. Presumably at some point someone was devastated that the rain came early and wiped out all the work on the sand table.

    Well we are talking about the guy who pressed the delete everything button and then was surprised that everything was deleted.

    Yes, but all was deleted were the ChatGPT chats. Is that all the research produced in 2 years? Probably nothing of value was lost.

    Probably not. It seems misleading to characterize what he loss as his research, and a blatant clickbaity lie to claim it was all of it.

    Bucher admitted he’d “lost” two years’ worth of “carefully structured academic work” — including grant applications, publication revisions, lectures, and exams
