How to Cite AI in Chicago/Turabian

Citing in Chicago/Turabian

Taken from https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Documentation/faq0422.html

 

The Chicago Manual of Style says that a numbered footnote or endnote for AI should look like this:

1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat.

"ChatGPT" is considered the author.

"OpenAI" is considered the publisher/sponsor.

"March 7, 2023" is the date the text was generated.

"https://chat.openai.com/chat" is the url where the AI tool is found.

If the prompt you used with AI isn't included in your paper, include it in the note:

1. ChatGPT, response to "Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients," OpenAI, March 7, 2023.

The URL isn't included in this exampled because there is no way to generate a URL that would take your reader to the original ChatGPT question. 

Don't cite your AI response in your bibliography or reference list unless you can get the exact link using a browser extension--just include your citations in footnotes or endnotes.
