If you are writing a paper on AI, cite the model number but also the date range in which you used it. These systems are being continually improved and tuned. However, the lack of clear changes or versioning makes replicability hard sometimes (along with inherent LLM randomness)

By

I am not seeing signs that Copilot has “brought Sydney back” – responses seem pretty normal so far However, I am actually a fan of giving AI more personality. People anthropomorphize anyway, and you might be less trusting of a slightly over-the-top Sydney than an “objective” AI.
