The Challenge of Citing AI

A king or local leader imbued the first written words with collective meaning. Or probably a mother, or father. Previous feeling and knowledge, bonds and norms in those symbols. It was certainly governments with slogans. Corporations with kleenex. Social media with memes (after mimetics). Citing AI output would we call to everything digital and the analog in the digital? Sense making attribution for an aggregate collector, pouring patterns through individual prompts where the output varies. By so much. By so many.
