Should I refer to ChatGPT?

Yes, if you have used ChatGPT in your work, you must mention all its use. Check out the instructions of your university:

• Use of AI-based applications at Tampere University and
• Use of AI-powered applications at TAMK

How do you make a citation to ChatGPT according to a specific citation style? See instructions e.g. : https://www.scribbr.com/ai-tools/chatgpt-citations/.

• For example, an APA-style citation: 
  OpenAI. (Year). ChatGPT (Month Day version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com

Writing your own texts (answers to assignments, essays, etc.) on ChatGPT is considered plagiarism or dishonesty in most institutions, even if you cite the source. Using ChatGPT in this way is not recommended.
