NoodleTools: Chicago Style AI Citations Tip

If the AI prompt/output you are citing does not have a publicly-available link, Chicago style suggests citing the source in footnotes only, like this:

     1. ChatGPT, response to "Prompt," OpenAI, July 16, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.

• If you do have a URL that allows a reader to view the output (either share the URL provided by the tool itself) you can use this form to include the entry in your Bibliography.
• Although ChatGPT does not provide access to the link, Perplexity's link is sharable so the instructor can click and see the students' conversation.
