Tip:

  • For more information about citing with time stamps, see section 6.28 of the MLA Handbook.

 MLA does NOT consider the AI tool as an author. Therefore, the recommendation is begin with the Title of Source.

The Title of Source will be the prompt that generated the response by the AI tool. For example, if you used "Describe the symbolism of the green light in the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald" as a prompt, that will be the Title of Source.
