There are different rules on how to cite AI depending on your specific context.
You shouldn’t cite AI as a source of factual information. But if you’re studying AI, you may be able to cite it as a primary source. Understand how to cite sources in the style relevant to your industry or project, and then look at how the manual says to cite AI.
If you use AI in other ways (e.g., developing research questions), some institutions require you to cite it. Check your institution’s guidelines.
Educators understand how AI detectors work (like QuillBot’s Free AI Checker) and can detect AI writing, so it’s important to be clear in your citations.

Yes, AI can write code. That said, it is still quite limited in the quantity and complexity of code it can write.
AI can be helpful for writing basic code or for helping developers check for errors. But if you want to create an entire program or complex website, AI probably isn’t the best choice.
Keep in mind how AI detectors work: by evaluating how surprising and varied writing is. Since code is a very structured language and doesn’t contain these factors, it’s harder to tell if it was written by AI.
QuillBot’s free AI Detector can help you check if text was written by AI, but may not be good at detecting if code was written by AI due to the reasons above.

Yes, AI can write a book. However, a book written by AI probably wouldn’t be a very good book.
Unlike humans, AI is limited when it comes to creativity (e.g., with figurative language), themes, and tone of voice.
Despite this, generative AI can be helpful to human authors. For example, AI can suggest writing strategies to put writers in the right mindset. Or it can be used in combination with a tool that can humanize AI text to improve the style.
Many publishers also use AI detectors to check that what they publish is high-quality, human-written work.
If you’d like to see how AI detectors work, you can try the QuillBot AI Detector.

There are a few ways you can check if an image is AI-generated.
First, review the image for anything that doesn’t look quite right. AI-generated images often have distorted text, patterns, or human features (especially faces and hands).
Second, check for metadata information. Some AI image generators use specific filenames or imprint a watermark on their images.
Third, understand how AI detectors work and how you can use them to analyze the probability that an image was generated by AI.
And if you need help detecting texts generated by AI, QuillBot’s free AI Content Detector is one option.

Teachers use a mix of strategies and tools to detect AI writing.
One method teachers use to detect AI is manual analysis. Teachers look at grammar, style, tone of voice, and the themes present in writing to see if it feels human.
Teachers also know how AI detectors work and how to use them to analyze writing. AI detectors can check—for example—essay writing to see if the qualities of the essay match human samples or AI samples.
QuillBot’s free AI Content Detector is one of the tools that can help teachers detect AI.
In contexts where the use of AI outputs is permitted, AI Humanizer tools can help humanize AI outputs and make the writing seem more natural and fluent.
