 # This means that if you rely on a case from a Wikipedia article you found through a Google search, you must cite not only the case but also the Wikipedia article and the Google search. Similarly, if you incorporate or consult output from ChatGPT, you must identify not only that output but also the prompts you used to produce that output.
 # By incorporating output from a generative AI tool, you vouch for the accuracy and originality of that output. You must therefore independently substantiate claims made by a generative AI tool.
