Afterward, I used ChatGPT to double check what I said in the workshop, which I think was correct based on my understanding of how AI works and was confirmed by my double checking. People also wondered how to cite AI and below is an example of how to get AI to do it for us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a record of my search that might be helpful to include in the materials you are collecting from today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kelly Said:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it accurate to say that because of how ChatGPT works, it will not be able to provide accurate direct quotations from texts that it was trained on. My understanding is that generative AI works by predicting statistical probabilities not finding whole texts in its training dataset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ChatGPT said:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes, you\u2019re essentially correct \u2014 and you\u2019re articulating a key limitation of how large language models like ChatGPT work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a more precise explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ChatGPT does not store or retrieve full texts from its training data. It was trained on a mixture of licensed data, publicly available data, and data from human interactions, but it doesn\u2019t have access to full copyrighted books, articles, or proprietary materials unless they were part of the public web at the time of training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of recalling whole passages, ChatGPT generates text based on patterns in language it learned during training. It predicts what comes next in a sentence based on the context you provide and the statistical patterns it has seen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This means that \u201cdirect quotations\u201d are unreliable unless they are very commonly cited or formulaic (like Shakespeare quotes, famous speeches, or widely available public domain content). Even then, it might paraphrase them or get details slightly wrong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So yes, if you need verbatim quotes from a source, ChatGPT should not be relied on. The better practice is to consult the original text directly and quote from it yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kelly Said: Give me an MLA citation for this search<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ChatGPT said:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sure!
