The only time ChatGPT should be cited is when the purpose of your paper is to study the behavior of ChatGPT.
I think it should be morally okay to use ChatGPT in the research process and to improve the quality of your writing, e.g., "Make this more clear and flow better"
If ChatGPT must be cited, I think for maximum transparency the citation should include the model, date retrieved, prompt, and output in an appendix.
