MLA Guidelines
MLA guidelines do not recommend citing AI generators as an author (July 2023).
- Title of Source : Describe what was generated by the AI tool. This may involve including information about the prompt in the Title of Source element if you have not done so in the text.
- Title of Container : Use the Title of Container element to name the AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT).
- Version : Name the version of the AI tool as specifically as possible. For example, the examples in this post were developed using ChatGPT 3.5, which assigns a specific date to the version, so the Version element shows this version date.
- Publisher : Name the company that made the tool.
- Date : Give the date the content was generated.
- Location : Give the general URL for the tool.
