Basic Format:
To find the tool name/model of the generative AI tool you are using, ask for that information in the chat interface.
For example, you can ask, "What model of ChatGPT is this?"
Note: APA considers the author of generative AI to be the AI company of the AI tool that generated it, in this case Anthropic. If you cite more than one instance of material generated by the same AI tool in your work, follow APA rules for citing more than one work with the same author and publication year. In such a case, on the reference page add a lower-case letter after the day of publication, like this:
OpenAI. (2023, August 21a). Title of chat in italics [Description, such as Generative AI chat]. Tool Name/Model. URL of the chat
OpenAI. (2023, August 23b). Title of chat in italics [Description, such as Generative AI chat]. Tool Name/Model. URL of the chat
Note: Even though the dates are different, this will help readers find the reference from the in-text citation within the essay.
