Please confirm with your Professor that using a generative AI tool (ex: ChatGPT) is allowed for your assignment. Some Professors do not allow these tools to be used. If a generative AI tool is allowed, you must cite the information to avoid plagiarism.
Chicago considers your prompt as generating a personal response and link (though not publicly accessible) so you treat the citation as a personal communication. You can acknowledge the citation information in the text, but any information not in the text would be added within an in-text citation.
