ChatGPT is a human conversation simulator, not an information system or a knowledge base.

It has no understanding of anything: it only outputs plausible responses.

Because ChatGPT has no understanding of anything, it does not know what things like “a source” or “a true statement” are.

Do not trust its directions.

Do not ask an intermediary who has no capacity to understand information to explain it to you.

You will waste time and make mistakes.

Instead, go to your university library and look it up yourself, with the help of your local librarians.
Actual information is contained in brains, documents and databases.

Further:
Formatting citations and bibliographies means presenting metadata according to formal style instructions.

This is not natural language.

ChatGPT will make errors, which will take time to track and correct.

Instead, use a reference manager, such as Zotero.

It will format things reliably, exactly as expected.
Just clean up the references’ metadata as you collect them, and then your bibliographies will not contain mistakes.
