AI-generated content (e.g., text from ChatGPT) may not be considered as an acceptable source for your course work. Be sure to evaluate the content carefully and check with your instructor if you are permitted to use it as a source.

If you are using AI-generated text as a source, remember to include both in-text citations within your paragraphs and full citations in your references/works cited list. Please see the MLAAPA, or Chicago citation guides for the library's recommendations for citing AI-generated content.

When integrating text from an AI tool, continue to follow style guidelines for paraphrasing or quoting sources.
