If you're using generative AI for research purposes, disclosure is probably not necessary. Yet, attribution is probably required if you use ChatGPT or another AI tool for composition.
Distinguishing between research and composition is a crucial first step. If I'm using generative AI as a kind of unreliable encyclopedia that can point me toward other sources or broaden my perspective, it's less problematic.
Always double-check any facts you run across in the chatbot's outputs, and never reference a ChatGPT output or Perplexity page as a primary source of truth.
Think of it, in this context, as part of the information infrastructure. ChatGPT can be the road you drive on, but the final destination should be some external link.
