The overall format for a citation of AI-generated text in APA-style is the following:

Company. (Year). AI Name (version) [Descriptor]. URL

Some helpful notes:

• The 'company' for ChatGPT is Open AI. 
• The 'company' for My AI is Snapchat.
• The 'version' can be the date in which you accessed and used the AI product. For example: (Feb 8 version)
• The 'descriptor' is used for all nonstandard sources and is a quick description of the type of source being cited. If using an AI product like ChatGPT or My AI, the description would be [Large language model]. A large language model is an AI foundation model that can be used for text generation and prompt-engineered text (like ChatGPT and My AI).
