The online Chicago Manual of Style offers information on citing content developed or generated by artificial intelligence. There are levels of complexity in how to cite ai, but Chicago offers some simple footnotes, such as these:
1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.
In the example above, ChatGPT stands in as “author” of the content, and OpenAI (the developer of ChatGPT) is the publisher or sponsor, followed by the date the text was generated. NOTE: The URL tells us where the ChatGPT tool may be found; because readers can’t get to the cited chat content, the URL is not an essential element of the citation.
If your ai prompt hasn’t been included in the text of your paper, you can include it in the footnote:
1. ChatGPT, response to “Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients,” OpenAI, March 7, 2023.
A more detailed option: use your AI tool's "share" link in the footnote:
1. Text generated by ChatGPT-3.5, OpenAI, December 9, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/share/90b8137d-ff1c-4c0c-b123-2868623c4ae2.
