AI shouldn't be used in place of critical thinking and analysis. Depending on it's use, generative AI fills the same role as background research or sites like Wikipedia -- useful for exploring and understanding a topic, but not something you cite in a paper or project.
For instances when the use of AI tools like ChatGPT is required within your assignments, it needs to be cited, just as you would cite any other information that is not your own. Not citing the use of AI may be considered plagiarism.
This article from style.mla.org explains how to cite the use of AI "whenever you paraphrase, quote, or incorporate into your own work any content (whether text, image, data, or other) that was created by it."

Citation generators like EasyBib (from Chegg) use artificial intelligence to compile a citation based on the information the user gives it or the information that it pulls from the source. In either instance, citation information may be incomplete or inaccurate. Therefore, it's best to avoid using citation generators - they're only as good as the information you give it to start with! Accidentally leaving out citation information can still be considered plagiarism.
