Dear AuthorAid Members,

I would like to ask you about OPenAI.

Is it appropriate to cite OpenAI (such as ChatGPT) as a formal reference in my PhD dissertation?

I thank you for your time and genuine response.

With kind regards

[Charles Nyanga]

Dear Minale Demelashi

I think it is not appropriate. ChatBot, ChatGPT etc are not humans. There responses lack a lot of content and that human touch. They are not authorities, they are just similitudes of humanity. All the best with your PhD thesis. Please do not mess up your academic career by thinking of citing a ChatBot.

Best regards,

Charles Nyanga

I just thought that references were supposed to be from peer-reviewed literature only. AI has no reviewers. I have also experienced false information from AI. It is a dangerous source. I think you should keep off the source.

Genesis 50: 19-21  "But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.  So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them".

Dear Dr George Oromo,

You are right. The ChatBots lack a lot of information and sometimes provide false information. Try to punch your name and see what data it will bring and when punch in the same name again the data drastically changes, this is the test you can use.

Best regards to all of you,

In my university we consider this as part of false /ghost citations and its a serious academic offence punishable by cancelling the result! Stand warned never to commit an academic offence!

All the best,
