The conversation between human and AI assistant.
For a computer science project/paper, I asked for and received a lot of help on IRC. What is the correct way to give credit?
Should I also include the chat logs as evidence of the help received?
Including chat logs as evidence of help received can be a good idea, but it's not necessary. If you include a brief explanation of the help provided and the user's IRC nickname, that should be sufficient for giving credit.
