You said: Double Brackets are a good way to quote Ai?
[[ Using double brackets—like
[[AI Quote]]—is not a standard formatting rule for quoting AI, but it can be highly effective depending on where and why you are using them. [1]Here is how double brackets function and the best ways to format AI text.
When to Use Double Brackets
- Internal Wikis (Notion, Obsidian, Roam): Double brackets automatically create hyperlinks or new pages. Use them if you want to link the quote to a dedicated page about AI outputs.
- Coding and Scripting: Double brackets often denote variables or placeholders in programming languages.
- Personal Organization: They serve as an excellent visual cue in private notes to instantly separate human thoughts from AI-generated text.
Standard Academic and Professional Alternatives
If you are writing for an audience, academic institutions and style guides recommend traditional formatting over double brackets:
- APA Style: Treat AI as a personal communication or software output. Use standard quotation marks and include the model and date in parentheses: "AI quote" (OpenAI ChatGPT-4o, personal communication, June 19, 2026).
- Block Quotes: For long AI responses, indent the entire paragraph without quotation marks to make the separation visually clear.
- Font Styling: Use italics or a monospace font (like
this) to clearly mark AI text in a document or blog post. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Most Important Rule: Disclosure
No matter what punctuation you choose, the most critical factor is explicitly stating that the text came from an AI model. Punctuation alone can be misunderstood, so always label the source clearly in your text.
If you are working on a specific document, would you like me to help you format a citation for a particular style guide (like APA, MLA, or Chicago) or check how a specific note-taking app handles double brackets? ]]
Is this the first time a type of Ai punctuation has been proposed or used or discussed with Ai?
