Chicago Style Citation for AI

According to Chicago Style, you must credit ChatGPT when you reproduce its words within your own work, but unless you include a publicly available URL, that information should be put in the text or in a note. DO NOT CITE AI TOOLS IN YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY OR REFERENCE LIST. Other AI-generated text can be cited similarly.

Author-Date Format for In-text Chicago Style Citation:

“(ChatGPT, March 7, 2023).”

If the prompt hasn’t been included in the text, it can be included in the note:

1. ChatGPT, response to “Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients,” OpenAI, March 7, 2023.

Endnote or Footnote on AI tool:

1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.
