Wired (unpaywalled) – “If I use an AI tool for research or to help me create something, should I cite it in my completed work as a source? How do you properly give attribution to AI tools when you use them …Distinguishing between research and composition is a crucial first step. If I’m using generative AI as a kind of unreliable encyclopedia that can point me toward other sources or broaden my perspective on a topic, but not as part of the actual writing, I think that’s less problematic and unlikely to leave the stench of deception. Always double-check any facts you run across in the chatbot’s outputs, and never reference a ChatGPT output or Perplexity page as a primary source of truth. Most chatbots can now link to outside sources on the web, so you can click through to read more. Think of it, in this context, as part of the information infrastructure. ChatGPT can be the road you drive on, but the final destination should be some external link…”
