New Fall 2024 - guidance on how to cite Generative AI https://sau57.org/mla9/citeAI 

What is Generative AI?  "Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that is capable of creating new content or data that is similar to the data it was trained on. Unlike traditional AI, which might simply recognize patterns or make decisions based on existing data, generative AI can produce new, original content—such as text, images, music, or even code."
