Caution: As noted in CSUF's AI Technology Guidelines, AI tools like ChatGPT can be useful for brainstorming keywords or research questions, but they can also "hallucinate." AI hallucinations can produce false or made-up information, including fake citations. Always verify that sources exist and confirm claims using credible, peer-reviewed research before including them in your work.

The library’s AI Library Guide offers information about using AI in research, disclosure requirements, and how to cite AI use in APA, MLA, and Chicago Styles. 

Always check with your professor to see if AI use is allowed.
