Citation markers are added as code, in code examples

Simply put, here is an example of the response to a question I just asked:

Notice the “[oaicite:9]{index=9}” code that appears in the example query. This obviously shouldn’t be in the actual SQL query.

I asked what these “[oaicite:9]…” symbols were and I got:

The string [oaicite:9]{index=9} you’re seeing in code examples is an internal citation marker used by ChatGPT to reference sources. These markers are typically processed and replaced with proper citations in the final output. If they’re appearing in your code snippets, it might be due to a rendering issue or a bug in the ChatGPT interface.

Which makes total sense. Except I don’t want it to clutter the example code.

Please fix asap :folded_hands:
