APA recommends introducing the prompt entered into the generative AI model and the response in the paragraph.
Example: When prompted with “Is the left brain right brain divide real or a metaphor?” the ChatGPT-generated text indicated that although the two brain hemispheres are somewhat specialized, “the notation that people can be characterized as ‘left-brained’ or ‘right-brained’ is considered to be an oversimplification and a popular myth” (OpenAI, 2023).

Generative AI should not be included in the bibliography unless cite you provide a publicly available link (e.g., via a browser extension like ShareGPT or A.I. Archives). Most generative AI responses are tied to the user's account which only the user can see.
