Searching ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT for your Fourth Source

 

Dr. Stevenson wants you to use ChatGPT as your fourth source.  Ask ChatGPT how artificial intelligence is being used in your particular industry.

  • If Chatgpt provides new information that you did not find in the library databases or Google, you need to find a reliable source to back up the ChatGPT information you found -- either by using the library's databases or a reputable source on Google.
  • For example if ChatGPT tells me something that I didn't already see in my other sources, I can say:

According to Chatgpt, AI can be used in car repair to help analyze personal driving behavior to "to generate personalized maintenance recommendations for each vehicle." David Yi et al, in their article, "A Machine Learning Based Personalized System for Driving State Recognition," explains and analyzes the results of their experiments with AI technology to gather information about people's driving behavior. Their studies show that this information, gathered by AI, will predict individual driver's repair needs and improve the results of the car repairs.

Important things to remember:

  • You cannot copy/paste the entire answer it gives you. You can intersperse quotes with your own writing that summarizes and explains Chatgpt's answer.
  • You must list it in your Works Cited page. See the "MLA 9th Edition Citation" tab on the left for more information.
