Working in Higher Education and with AI, referencing has been something I've been enagaging with lately.
As @droopydog500 mentioned, Chicago referencing style does have a suggested format as in the page below: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Documentation/faq0423.html Most referencing styles have not been updated to give official ways of citing GenAI images, and ones that do, tend to focus on the prompt, not additional settings. Here is a MLA Referencing Style of an image I created (following https://style.mla.org/citing-generative-ai/).

The above gives the prompt, tool, date created, no additional settings/tags. Images that use a variery of tags and a reference image can be more complex to cite, like the one below: https://firefly.adobe.com/community/view/texttoimage?id=urn:aaid:sc:US:a7f79216-032f-410d-bd7f-7d8677db1a1a Then what about a citation for a GenAI image that has had further work done - say with Generative Fill or Photoshop? So a button that claims to be a citation can be problematic if it suggests it is generating an official, complete citation.
