Citing AI in Chicago Style

Cite generative AI in Chicago style
As of June 2023, Chicago style does cite AI tool as author, with the following example: "ChatGPT is the author of the content, and the date is the date the text was generated. OpenAI (the organization that developed ChatGPT) is then listed as the publisher or sponsor of the content."

Don’t cite ChatGPT in a bibliography or reference list unless you provide a publicly available link (e.g., via a browser extension like ShareGPT or A.I. Archives). The URL link supplied by ChatGPT for your session is not accessible to others.
