Chicago citation style

Generative AI (eg., ChatGPT)

If you use text or other media generated by an AI tool, you should include a footnote or parenthetical note explaining this in your text. However, you do not need to include the citation in your bibliography or reference list, unless your instructor or publisher has told you to.

Note: Methods of citing materials generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are rapidly changing. Check with your course instructor or thesis supervisor before using or citing material generated by AI tools. You should also check whether the tool you’re using has terms of use or guidelines on how to credit use of the tool (for example, from OpenAI).
