Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology that is developing quickly. Like the internet in general, these AI tools, like ChatGPT, are neither good or bad when it comes to finding and using information. Instead, they represent a new way in which we can interact with information. Wikipedia is another technological invention that required us to a rethink how we interact with information.
This guide predminantly refers to ChatGPT. However, in most cases, these guidelines can be applied to other generative AI.
Examples of these include: Scribe, Bard, Gemini, Claude, and more.
Keep in mind that generative AI is changing at a rapid pace. While this guide will aim to stay current, some information may be out of date when you read the content.
Please first confirm with your professor that using ChatGPT or other content produced by generative artificial intelligence (AI) is acceptable before using it for any course assignments.
Look for a statement in the class's syllabus or ask your professor.
Also, never disclose personal information in ChatGPT or similar generative AI.
