NEW!: Citing Information Generated by ChatGPT/AI
APA's Position: The results of a “chat” with a generative AI, like ChatGPT, are not retrievable by other readers. Although other types nonretrievable data or quotations are usually cited as personal communications in APA Style papers, with generative AI produced text there is no person communicating. Quoting an AI's text from a chat session is therefore more similar to sharing an algorithm’s output. APA, therefore recommends that citations should credit the author of the algorithm with a reference list entry and the corresponding in-text citation. See the post on the APA Style Blog for more details.
Format:
Company that made the tool (date text was generated). AI tool (version of tool) [Large language model]. URL.
