Introduction

ChatGPT, an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, has been a game changer in the field of natural language processing. It has the ability to provide quick answers to a wide range of questions, making it a useful tool for most people. However, when it comes to referencing the sources used by ChatGPT to answer a question, it can be a bit tricky. This article will cover the necessary steps and tips to effectively display ChatGPT's references in a clear and concise manner.

Add WebChatGPT Browser Extension

To ensure that ChatGPT is using the internet to support its answers and to show the corresponding references, you can use a browser extension for Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. Add this WebChatGPT browser extension to your list of installed extensions.

Use ChatGPT with Web Access

You can head to chat.openai.com and start chatting with ChatGPT. By default, you will see that the language model will use current web search results to answer your question. It will, in addition, show you the references for its findings.

Clicking on the reference will open the specific page where the information was found. This is possible because the browser extension is writing elaborate prompts to get this information sourced and presented in this particular way.
