It's okay to acknowledge that you missed something in your literature search. Everyone does. It's not okay to sweep it under the rug or pretend that it's novel after having having the prior work pointed out to you, especially when a central part of your thesis is that "AI" discovered a novel algorithm and it's very likely that this algorithm was part of the LLM's training data.
