From a publication of the HARVARD COLLEGE WRITING PROGRAM :
Harvard Guide to Using Sources, Harvard University
Plagiarism and Generative-AI / ChatGPT
Students should not copy, quote, paraphrase or summarize any source (including AI or ChatGPT sources) without adequate documentation (citing their sources)
For any assignments that are meant to be original work, it can be required that students not use AI - check with your instructor to avoid Academic Misconduct
Please be aware that Generative-AI models sometimes produce biased, outdated, or incorrect information.
Students should understand how to cite or give credit to AI generators, if their use is approved by their instructor. They can list ChatGPT as a reference work or quote it within their work. Sample language might be “Generated by ChatGPT.”
Do not use Generative-AI or ChatGPT to generate citations - it is a huge waste of time as it will generate citations that do not exist (machine hallucinations)
