WARNING!: AI-generated content is not like other sources you might cite. ChatGPT, DALL-E, and similar AI tools generate text, images, and other outputs based on the common patterns they learned from millions of other sources — the documents, images, or other data the AI tools trained on. It is usually impossible to trace AI-generated content back to the training sources it is based on or to know how the AI tool itself works. The work generated by AI tools replicates and often amplifies, the biases that exist in the training sources. Always check with your professor before using AI tools like ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney, etc--many instructors do not allow these tools, or only allow them under certain circumstances!

The Chicago Manual of Style has updated guidance on citing generative AI content like ChatGPT, in a variety of contexts. You should note that in Chicago/Turabian-style, AI-assisted or created content should not be listed in the bibliography, or reference list
