When (and How) to Cite AI? 'Critters,' 'Varmints,' and Beyond. Choobers. Grammar Girl 981

981. Major style guides now have advice on when and how you should cite AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. We look at what you need to include in your writing so you're handling this kind of information credibly and professionally. Then, we take a linguistic safari through the world of animal terminology, including the histories and nuances behind words such as "critter," "varmint," and "beast."

The "critters" segment was written by Samantha Enslen, who runs Dragonfly Editorial. You can find her at http://DragonflyEditorial.com.
